More blue Kool-Aid, please. I will not calm down! Nope. I’ve already had a few people call me out on Twitter/X, saying, “Anne! You and all the Detroit Lions fans need to calm down.” Sorry, but if you’ve been a Lions fan as long as I have, you get it. We’re 7-2 after a riveting game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and it feels electric. So, what are the Lions’ chances of going to the Super Bowl?

That statement used to be a joke. The Lions at the Super Bowl? But, now, we’re so serious about it. In fact, some NFL analysts are starting to look at the Lions are being real Super Bowl contenders this year. The Lions are now alone as No. 1 in the NFC North standings, ahead of the Vikings, who are No. 2 at 6-4. Right after Sunday’s big win, Tony Romo said on the CBS broadcast that the Lions could win – yes, not just appear, but win – the Super Bowl this year. So, the Lions’ chances of going to the Super Bowl are getting better and better. Of course, the Lions have never won a Super Bowl, so this is big.

Joe Chapp from the Detroit Lions News Podcast is the guest on “The Squad with Anne Erickson” today to talk about the Lions’ game against the Chargers, what’s ahead and who stand as the strongest teams in the NFL right now. We also talk about some key players in the NFL this year, including Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, Dan Campbell and more. As Goff says, coach Campbell “has balls,” and that shows in the Lions’ last-minute, chancy plays. There’s lots to delve into this season, and it’s all good stuff. Listen to “The Squad with Anne Erickson” below, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Reach out to Anne Erickson here if you want to talk football, music or more.

5 Hottest Personalities in the NFL Right Now

  • Patrick Mahomes

    Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

  • Travis Kelce

    Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it’s because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

  • Dan Campbell

    All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That’s not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

  • Bill Belichick

    Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we’ll introduce him anyway. He’s the former head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He’s had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He’s incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

  • Jalen Hurts

    Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he’s known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He’s a major contender and personality.
