- ESPN's Kevin Seifert thinks the Detroit Lions should be considered a playoff contender, and he wouldn't be surprised if they end up finishing 10-6 or 9-7. That's not to say that he's expecting them to repeat 2011 and actually make the playoffs, but his point is that he thinks they have the potential to get back to the postseason in 2013.
Given that the Lions went 4-12 last season, I'm sure many would disagree with Seifert's assessment. However, based on the improvements they made in the offseason, I don't think a return to the playoffs is out of the question by any means.
