Under Dan Campbell, the Detroit Lions have altered the course of their franchise.
The Lions have gone from being a gritted underdog to one of the NFC favorites in just three seasons. They have gained momentum throughout the 2023 season and are presently the NFC’s second-best team.
Because of the overwhelming fan support the Lions have received, opponents find it challenging to play at Ford Field. The team is aware that having home field advantage could make all the difference in a playoff run, so they haven’t overlooked it.
Consequently, Aidan Hutchinson, a second-year edge rusher, is focused on beating the Philadelphia Eagles, the defending NFC champions, and taking the top spot going into the postseason.
“That’s the objective, of course, man. We aren’t

“I suppose they’re in the AFC, so we’ll see if we play them again. Really, you never know. They had a lot of large explosives against us early on, so I thought it was one of those games that got out of control,” Hutchinson remarked. “Dude, that hurts. Our football was not flowing smoothly and harmoniously. In those cases, there’s not a lot to say. It is difficult to win in the league if all 11 players are not performing at a high level and are not on the same page, no matter how much cheering and hollering you do on the sidelines. Thus, it requires everyone.”
Michigan, Hutchinson’s alma mater, has come under intense scrutiny as part of the ongoing investigation into a former staffer who is accused of stealing signs from opponents.
When host Mike Florio questioned the defender about his relationship to Connor Stalions, the recently-resigned staffer who was allegedly at the center of the scheme, the defender remained silent.
