The Lions aren’t quite a Super Bowl team. Not yet. And if they are by the end of the season, it will be because of their young guys getting better, and other guys returning from injury. That’s Holmes and Campbell’s belief.
It makes perfect sense.
Ask yourself this: Do the Lions beat Baltimore if Sweat or Young are lined up opposite Aidan Hutchinson? Of course not. Defense wasn’t the only issue. If I recall, the Lions scored six points. Even against the Raiders, it was the offense that got bogged down at times, settling for field goals several times in the red zone.
