ESPN’s power rankings are out, and the Lions are ranked #26 out of 32 football teams. That’s a 1 spot improvement over last week despite a loss. It’s clear the Lions are a much better team this season than they were last year, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone when they come away with 4 or 5 wins this year. I see several teams ranked better than the Lions who are not nearly as good this year. The Bills, at #25, would lose to the Lions. I guarantee that. The Lions won’t be playoff contenders this season, but they also won’t be contending for one of the top 5 draft picks next year. There are so many terrible teams in football, the Lions are actually in a class above the bottom dwellers.
