Coming into the 2023 NFL season, one team that was getting a lot of hype due to a strong finish in the second half of last season was the Detroit Lions.
Even though the Lions came just short of making the NFL playoffs last year, head coach Dan Campbell and company showed a lot of promise for the future in Detroit, with a lot of talented young players seemingly on the brink of having a breakout year in 2023.
Fortunately for Detroit, Jared Goff’s squad has been able to live up to the hype thus far, with the Lions only suffering one loss this season in a game they could’ve won against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.
Despite that bump in the road in Week 2, the Lions were able to get back to form in Week 3 with a convincing win over the Atlanta Falcons, which they followed up with consecutive wins over the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers.
Heading into Week 6, the Lions got a ringing endorsement from future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski, who has nothing but love for Campbell, via “Up & Adams.”

Even though Gronkowski had high praise for the Lions and everything Campbell has done to change the culture in Detroit, the four-time Super Bowl champion is going with his Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6 when these two teams go head-to-head at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.
However, Detroit is the favorite to come out on top, and there’s a good reason why because this team is one of the best all-around squads in the league right now.
The Buccaneers may be playing better than expected, with Baker Mayfield leading the charge under center, but Detroit is the better football team right now, looking to go 5-1.
