Lions Begin 2025 Camp After Record 15-2 Season

The Detroit Lions are entering the 2025 NFL season with high expectations after achieving a franchise-best 15-2 record in 2024 and winning consecutive NFC North titles. Despite the retirement of star center Frank Ragnow and the departure of both coordinators, the roster remains largely intact, with John Morton joining as offensive coordinator and praised for maintaining system continuity. Running back David Montgomery called 2025 a 'year of reckoning,' reflecting the team's determination to move past playoff disappointments and pursue a Super Bowl win. The team began training camp early due to their participation in the Hall of Fame preseason game and has adjusted its offseason program accordingly. While NFC North rivals have strengthened, head coach Dan Campbell and GM Brad Holmes are relying on the team's strong culture and offensive core to sustain success. The season will test Detroit's ability to maintain divisional dominance and finally reach the NFL's biggest stage.
