Years of agony and misery for the Detroit Lions are coming to an end.

From a zero-win season to a joint fan journey on Hard Knocks, there are many people who follow the NFL who are rooting for the club from Detroit today, including neutral fans and even die hard fans of other teams.

Detroit Lions Clinching Win

The Detroit Lions will win their first division title since 1993 if they defeat the Minnesota Vikings today. With all eyes on Minneapolis, Minnesota, today’s game is about more than just playoff dreams or winning another divisional game; it’s about the long process of effectively turning around a once-storied club.

This club is doing well, and the offense has been going on all cylinders at times. Any team will make mistakes throughout the season, but the Detroit Lions have been consistent, especially on offense.

With 394.4 yards per game, this team is third in the league. Under Jared Goff, they are not just moving the chains, but also turning yards into points. They are averaging the fourth most points per game (27.3) and have depended heavily on their passing attack.

Spreading the ball around, Jared Goff has mostly connected with his number one receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown. This season, the receiver has over 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns. But he doesn’t even have the highest season contributed score from the entire receiving corps. Sam LaPorta has nine receiving touchdowns on just over 750 yards.

Bottom line: when their offensive clicks, they are among the greatest.

Detroit Lions Coach

Coach Dan Campbell is the face of this club and the transformation that we have seen. He is not pleased, he maintains his intensity, and he does not take any opponent lightly. Coach Dan Campbell revealed the following information on the Minnesota Vikings before of their game against them:

I believe this team is superior than the one we faced last year. They don’t have (Kirk Cousins), I understand. But they ask the quarterback to do what he does best: control the game and distribute the ball to the playmakers, and the defense improves dramatically.

Coach Dan Campbell, not one to mince words and always willing to express what is on his mind, acknowledged the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback problem while also pointing out the reasons of concern that they can offer against his squad.

His style, energy, and shameless self-expression make players believe in their coach and their squad. While many would be aiming for a clinching division title victory, Dan Campbell will see it as just another chance to win on the day. It will be another opportunity for their hard work and determination to show on the field as they prepare for a potential playoff run this year.
