About this listen
The Detroit Lions close out the 2026 NFL season with a 19–16 win over the Chicago Bears, finishing 9–8 and missing the playoffs.

The guys reflect on the Lions’ four straight winning seasons, why this year still felt like a disappointment, and what needs to change moving forward. Topics include the firing of the offensive coordinator, potential free-agent targets, draft needs, Jared Goff’s performance, and the future of Detroit’s roster.
They also preview Wild Card Weekend, make Super Bowl predictions, and discuss major NFL coaching changes around the league.
