Detroit’s star lineman remains confident.
The Detroit Lions face more challenges than a typical 12-2 team. Their defense has been ravaged by injuries, and running back David Montgomery is out due to what seems like historically bad luck. In just a few weeks, the Lions could either secure the NFC’s No. 1 seed or drop to No. 5.
Despite three great months, all their momentum could vanish. Considering the team’s past 75 years of struggles, there’s an undercurrent of pessimism, even among fans finally supporting a strong team.
Offensive tackle Penei Sewell addressed this growing doubt as injuries pile up. His message? Doubters should think twice before jumping ship.
“The real fans, they gonna stick down through whatever,” Sewell stated. “And if you wanna keep questioning, then go ahead and just hop off. You’ll see what happens.”
The Lions aim to rebound Sunday against the Bears in Chicago. While many are losing faith, it’s an ideal moment to trust in the team’s resilience.
