Detroit Lions 2022 season recap:

The Lions performed well above initial expectations in 2022, finishing second in the NFC North with a record of 9-8 and just barely missing out on a spot in the postseason. Detroit has the potential to make some noise again in 2023, but with a completely new offensive backfield, there will be some adjustments required to make it to the postseason again.
