The Lions went 15-2, won the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the first time in franchise history, and then lost their first playoff game. Does that mean they missed their best chance to reach the Super Bowl?
Not according to Lions general manager Brad Holmes, who believes the talent on the Lions’ roster is good enough to win for years to come.
“Is there a window?” said Holmes. “I think we did a good job and did our best to avoid windows. . . . We feel so good about our young core, our young core of players, and we feel so good about our quarterback.”
Holmes said the Lions accomplished something impressive considering how many injuries they had during the season, and showed they are building the team the right way.
“Fifteen wins, that’s hard to do in a year when you don’t have the exhaustion that we had to deal with,” Holmes said. “I think we’re just staying the course. . . . I think we are very close.”
Holmes said he’s not going to be “captured by the moment” and “make all these crazy big changes” because of one playoff loss. He believes he has a contender in 2025, and this offseason he’ll bulk up, stay atop the NFC in the regular season — and then play better in the playoffs.
