And after going 3-13-1, some might say that those expectations were justified. However, the Lions showed plenty of promise in some games, springing a couple of upsets and pushing some good teams close. Now, after a strong draft and some free agency acquisitions, can Detroit continue their climb back towards a place in the postseason?
