Inside Coverage: Has the Detroit Lions' Super Bowl window closed?

The article explores whether the Detroit Lions' Super Bowl prospects are still viable. Despite losing key players like All-Pro center Frank Ragnow and experiencing coaching changes, the team's window isn't closed but is more precarious. Experts Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab identify three main issues: significant departures, gradual "erosion" of team strength, and a tougher competition landscape. The Lions face one of the hardest schedules in the NFL and a stronger NFC North division, intensifying their challenge. While the Lions remain contenders with a strong roster, their margin for error has significantly decreased, making a repeat of last season's performance uncertain.
