The Lions have remade their secondary, especially with the pickup of C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and they've added Graham Glasgow back to their O-line. What do all those changes mean?

The Lions fell just short of a playoff berth, but they still finished strong: a 9-8 record and a prime-time win in Lambeau to bounce Aaron Rodgers (and the Packers) from the playoffs. Now, how does this team take the next steps? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rather than grabbing control of their playoff destiny, the Lions turned in one of their worst performances of the Dan Campbell era at Carolina. Can they fix things for the final two weeks? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From a 1-6 start to a 7-7 playoff push, the Lions have flipped this season (and the organization's outlook) on its head. Is it real, sustainable change? And can they finish the job by booking a postseason berth? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For a 4-7 team, the Lions sure have a way of being entertaining. How'd that Thanksgiving game slip away? What does Dane Brugler think the Lions should do in the draft? And what will Jameson Williams add to this offense? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dan Campbell said it himself: The Lions never would have expected to be 1-4 heading into their bye. With 12 games left on the other side, there's time to turn it around. But is this team capable of reversing course before the season is too far gone? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We knew headed into the season that the Lions would have some warts on defense, but Sunday was ridiculous. So ... now what? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
