Detroit Lions 2025 season outlook

According to Sports Illustrated, the Detroit Lions have the third-toughest schedule in the 2025 regular season, including games against the Super Bowl favorites, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. They will also travel to dark horses, the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and LA Rams.

Dan Campbell and his team will face the challenge head-on because it's part of their identity. The Lions pride themselves on battling until the final whistle, and on a good day, they're a nightmare for opposing coordinators.

Detroit had an almost flawless regular season in 2024. It will aim to convert its regular-season success to postseason dominance in 2025. The franchise has the tools to make a genuine Super Bowl push, and all that's left is for the stars to align in the Motor City.
