Through two years of the Dan Campbell era, the Detroit Lions have been known for their strong finishes to the regular season. After a 0-10-1 start in 2021, the Lions finished the season 3-3. The following year, the Lions capped a 1-6 start with an 8-2 finish.
Much of the credit for those turnarounds involves the team’s young players and their rapid development thanks to a strong Lions coaching staff. In 2021, it was Amon-Ra St. Brown really coming on. Last year, it was the likes of James Houston, Kerby Joseph, and Aidan Hutchinson taking their game to the next level.
