What a time to be a Detroit Lions fan. I seriously never thought I’d see the day when the Lions were 4-1 at Week 6. But, here we are, and it feels good. I’m pinching myself right now, actually. So, following a win against the Carolina Panthers, where do the Detroit Lions rank in the NFL?

I’m drinking that blue Kool-Aid. The new season of “The Squad with Anne Erickson” is in full swing, and we have some great people booked. The show has me chatting with NFL reporters, and it’s always an insightful listen. Moreover, we’re talking about not just the Detroit Lions but trends among all the NFL teams. Moreover, who’s on top right now? Who is surprising us?

Brad Berreman has become a good friend of mine. He covers the Lions for SideLionReport.com, which is part of the FanSided network. His insights are always fantastic. He’s this week’s guest, and we talk about a lot, including where the Detroit Lions currently rank in the NFL and why they are the real deal in the NFL. We also had to talk about Taylor Swift for just a bit, because it’s such a thing right now. Also, if she were to date a Lion, who would it be? Yes, the hard-hitting questions, but don’t worry, this episode only devotes a few moments to Taylor. Listen to the show below and wherever you listen to podcasts! Reach out to me with your thoughts here.

Brad Berreman of SideLion Report joins me on the latest episode of “The Squad” to talk about so much! In this interview, we covered:

  • The Detroit Lions’ win over the Carolina Panthers
  • The Lions’ upcoming games
  • What it feels like to have the Lions 4-1
  • Who would Taylor Swift date on the Lions’ team? (Haha.)
  • How have the Lions’ draft picks been doing for the team?
  • Who’s the current best quarterback in the NFL?
  • What NFL teams have been surprisingly good this season?

5 Best NFL Teams Right Now

  • 5. Seattle Seahawks

    I really think these guys are underrated. When it comes down to it, they have a not-so-secret weapon in star running back, and former Spartan, Kenneth Walker III. One of my best friends lived in Seattle working for Starbucks for years, so I’ve been following this team a long time. They’ve really bounced back the past two years, and I think their record is proving that they could go far this season.

  • 4. Detroit Lions

    I know what you’re thinking. The Detroit Lions? Yes, I’m a lifelong Lions fan, so maybe I’m a tad biased, but wow, am I impressed. I feel like this team is starting where they left off last season. Other than a surprise loss to the Seahawks (darn you guys!), the Lions have won all their other games this season. I see them making it to the playoffs and, hopefully, keeping quarterback Jared Goff for the long-haul. They play the Carolina Panthers this weekend, and it’s expected to be a blowout.

  • 3. San Francisco 49ers

    I have a weird hunch that these guys could make it to the Super Bowl. Okay, maybe it’s not so weird, since the 49s and Eagles are the only undefeated teams in the NFL right now. But, I think they’re strong and proving that they’re one of the big teams to beat this season.

  • 2. Kansas City Chiefs

    I know that it’s been a rocky start for the Kansas City Chiefs, but they’re still performing better than most NFL teams right now. They had a slow beginning but are starting to pick up momentum. It doesn’t hurt that they have one of the best quarterbacks of this era, Patrick Mahomes.

  • 1. Philadelphia Eagles

    I’m keeping my No. 1 pick the same this season. I’m still going with the Eagles as the strongest team in the NFL right now. The Eagles and 49ers are the only undefeated teams right now. That could change soon, but for now, Jalen Hurts and company are showing that they’re hungry for another chance at that Super Bowl prize.
