The Detroit Lions have a strong offense, and there’s really no way to deny that. They have one of the most explosive wide receivers in the league in Amon-Ra St. Brown. They have the quietly amazing quarterback Jared Goff, who’s constantly underrated. Their offense rocks.
That offense is one reason the Lions’ rivals should be kept up at night. Even with the strength of the NFC North, it’s really, really hard to stop Detroit’s offense.
The NFC North is a really tough division. Between the Lions, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers, these are all teams that are among the strongest in the league. But that’s not something that should scare the Lions, and it doesn’t.
The Detroit Lions’ explosive offense gives them an edge in the NFL’s toughest division, and their rivals should be worried
In a piece for ESPN out on Friday, Bill Barnwell is quoted as saying that he believes the NFC North is the best and even strongest division we’ve ever seen.
Jeremy Fowler praises the division and the Bears, along with Bears coach Ben Johnson, but he also praises the Lions.
“The Detroit Lions can score on any defense, and in several different ways,” he says.
Having the ability to score on any defense is a true gift in the NFL. Now, the Lions’ defense hasn’t been strong this season, but if they can even be just okay, that could be enough to help the offense have time to get points on the board and rest up a bit when the defense takes over. Don’t underestimate the Lions, even with help needed on defense.
