Was never the same after JJ juked him and he grabbed air on that TD run. Wink

All three division opponents have suffered some losses this year. Bears lost their starting pro bowl center and replaced him with Bradbury. From that terrific line in 2024, the Lions have lost four starters. One was replaced by Ratledge who was pretty good last year.

The shine has definitely worn off the Lions.

Lions and Packers had a better window and now that's closing this year. Doesn't mean they won't be decent teams, but it means the NFCN is definitely up for grabs. Hell, it was last year. One thing I got right was forecasting Detroit taking a step back last year.

There is a sense of a bit of shift right now with the Lions and Packers descending and the Vikings and Bears ascending, assuming we land Kyler. But even the Bears suffered a big hit at center.
