The Detroit Lions are close to locking in the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
Detroit fell to 0-9-1 on Sunday with a loss to the Cleveland Browns. The defeat combined with the Houston Texans' victory over the Tennessee Titans created what feels like an insurmountable gap between the Lions and three two-win franchises.
The Lions looked like they were turning a corner in their season at a few points, but every time they have come close to a win, they have been knocked back down to reality the next week.
