The Detroit Lions’ remarkable 2024 season continues to reřwrite the franchise’s history books. With their 13th win of the season—a comfortable victory over the Chicago Bears—the Lions have officially set a new franchise record for wins in a season, surpassing the 12-win mark achieved just last year. Head coach Dan Campbell, however, isn’t letting his team get caught up in the milestone just yet.
In true Campbell fashion, the focus remains squarely on the bigger prize: finishing the regular season strong and making a deep postseason run. After all, the Lions still have two pivotal games left, including a matchup against the 49ers—the same team that ended their playoff hopes in the NFC Championship last season—and a divisional showdown with the Minnesota Vikings.
Campbell’s message to his team is clear: there’s no time for celebration yet. With the No. 1 seed in the NFC still within reach, the Lions are in control of their destiny. Wins in their remaining games could secure the top spot, a first-round bye, and much-needed time for injured players to recover before the playoffs.
The Lions’ transformation under Campbell has been nothing short of extraordinary. Breaking a nearly 30-year playoff drought last season was just the beginning. Now, the Lions are poised to go further than ever before, with a roster that has shown resilience despite injuries to key players.
The stakes remain high in the final stretch of the regular season. If the Vikings lose to the Seahawks this week, Detroit could clinch the NFC North title as early as their game against the 49ers. But even if it comes down to a winner-takes-all clash against Minnesota in the season finale, the Lions are more prepared than ever to rise to the challenge.
For now, Dan Campbell’s Lions are focused, disciplined, and hungry for more. With their eyes firmly set on a Super Bowl run, Detroit fans have every reason to believe this team can deliver something truly historic.
