In the 2024 NFL season, the Detroit Lions faced setbacks after a promising start with a 15-2 record, tying for the best in the league. However, injuries derailed their championship hopes, culminating in a shocking playoff exit against the Washington Commanders. The offseason brought further challenges, with two key coaches poached by rival teams and the surprise retirement of center Frank Ragnow.

Coach Dan Campbell remains optimistic as new offensive coordinator John Morton, previously with the Denver Broncos, steps in, tasked with adjusting the Lions’ offensive scheme to leverage the talents of players like quarterback Jared Goff, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, and receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. The challenge lies in integrating new strategies amidst the loss of experienced coaching talent.
