Following the Lions’ NFC North championship, fan trust increased even more, reaching 98% at the end of Week 16. While it’s not quite the season’s best mark, this one is unquestionably within the range that the Lions have been playing in for most of the season.
Regarding the second question, which asked which player the Lions should be hoping to come back from injured reserve the most, the votes were quite close, with C.J. Gardner-Johnson emerging victorious, just missing out on both Alim McNeill and James Houston.
