Lions CB Jerry Jacobs set to defeat Chie
As the 2023 NFL regular season approaches, fans and analysts are already anticipating the highly-anticipated matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions. These two teams are expected to be strong contenders, potentially accumulating a significant number of wins throughout the season.
The Thursday Night Football opener in Week 1 will feature the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions. They have set the stage for an exciting showdown. Both teams understand the significance of starting the season on a positive note. Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs recently expressed his team’s readiness to pull off an upset. During an interview on SiriusXM, Jacobs confidently stated that he and his teammates are prepared to rise to the challenge.
“It’s time to show what Detroit is made of. When we knew we were playing them in the season opener, Dan Campbell came in and said, ‘They want us to lose, so what are we going to do?’ … We almost went to the playoffs and they just won the Super Bowl, so they’re trying to see if we’re really like that. We’re ready, I know we’re ready. Every time I hear we’re playing the season opener against the Super Bowl team, we’re ready to go out there and play ball and shock the world.”
Have the Lions ever won a Super Bowl?
Despite their nearly century-long existence, the Detroit Lions have struggled to achieve success. They are often considered one of the least successful teams in the modern NFL.
One glaring statistic that highlights their lack of postseason success is their prolonged playoff victory drought. Its the longest in the league. To find moments of triumph, the Lions must delve deep into their historical past.
Under the guidance of second-year head coach Dan Campbell, the Detroit Lions showcased a formidable offense in the previous season, narrowly missing out on a playoff berth with a 9-8 record. Despite facing some challenges due to player suspensions related to the NFL’s gambling policy, the Lions are poised for a promising future in the upcoming season. However, their first task on September 7th is an immense one – taking on the reigning champions on their home turf.
Surprisingly, the Lions have never made an appearance in the Super Bowl. They are the only team to have been in existence without a single Super Bowl appearance. The Lions can take pride in their four NFL championships won before the AFL-NFL merger. These accomplishments provide some solace amidst their Super Bowl absence.
