Dan Campbell may not have won Coach of the Year in 2022, but he did have one noticeable achievement that should not go overlooked. The Detroit Lions were the most improved team in football this past season.
There are several ways of determining that, but all pretty much point to the Lions receiving that distinction. Incredibly, four of the worst teams in football in 2021 (Jaguars, Lions, Jets, Giants) all saw significant improvement in 2022. The Giants went from 4-13 to 9-7-1. The Jets went from 4-13- to 7-10. But the Lions and the Jaguars both improved by six wins, going from three wins last year to nine in 2022.
