Division winners also tend to see schedule difficulty increase. They have to improve slightly just to stay even with the prior season.The Lions learned very quickly in 2025 how losing a Probowl Center (Ragnow retirement) impacts the OL and quickly. It’s very rare to lose a Probowl Center and just not skip a beat. Even with a good RD2 add at Center it can take a year or two to acclimate at the Pro level. Then your young Star Left Tackle goes down in Postseason.That’s a double whammy that will be hard to bounce back from in 2026. Chicagos #1 ranked OL was the Engine that made that train perform. Even a slight regression into a top 5-10 ranking will be felt. Especially when opponents like GB restocked the shelves with help upfront iDL.</blockquote>
