Results: NFL fans believe Detroit Lions will make Super Bowl run
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Detroit Lions fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
In this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, we asked Lions fans just one question: Are you confident the Lions are headed in the right direction? (weekly poll)
In the original survey article, we laid out how the confidence survey had fluctuated throughout the season, mainly only dipping significantly following a loss. If you missed it, here’s a refresher:
- Opening Week 1: 99%
- Following a win over Week 1 Rams: 97%
- Loss to Bucs: 79%
- Win over Cardinals: 92%
- Win over Seahawks: 99%
- Bye week: 96%
- Win over Cowboys: 98%
- Win over Vikings: 98%
- Win over Titans: 96%
- Win over Packers: 99%
- Win over Texans: 99%
- Win over Jaguars: 99%
- Win over Colts: 99%
- Win over Bears: 91%
- Win over Packers: 98%
- Loss to Bills: 86%
- Win over Bears: 98%
And now, coming off a (revenge?) win over the 49ers and bringing their win total to 14 on the season, Lions fans have spoken and there seems to be a bit of nerves moving through the fan base, as confidence has dipped to 91% — which is still solid overall.
Fortunately, the national audience remains firmly behind Detroit. SB Nation also ran a national survey asking who would cover the Lions -2.5 spread over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18, set by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, and the national audience continues to side with Detroit, with 60% of national fans believing the Lions win and cover.

And in case you need a bit more Kool-Aid, 21% of the National fans polled believe the Lions will still win the Super Bowl, the second-highest percentage behind the defending Champions.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”

The Detroit Police Department is investigating after a 5-year-old child was shot in the arm near a park on Tuesday.
The shooting happened at about 8:50 p.m. near the Fargo-Oaklfield Playground on the city’s west side. Police Chief Todd Bettison says the child was in front of his home riding a bike with his father supervising at the time of the shooting.
Bettison says an individual at the park fired multiple shots, striking the child. He says the boy’s father reported hearing shots and the child falling from his bike.
Bettison says the child is expected to be OK.
Bettison says the person appears to have been firing shots randomly, which he calls “problematic.” He says a person of interest is described as possibly between 15 and 16 years old and wearing a mask. He says the person is known to frequent the area.
“When you fire a weapon, what goes up must go down,” Bettison said. “To parents and everyone, know where your kids are. Juveniles should not have guns, and whether you’re an adult or a child, you should not be firing a weapon inside of the city limits.”
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield released a statement, saying in part, “By the grace of God, this young boy will recover from his injury and is on his way home from the hospital. With that said, this incident was senseless and could have had a much more tragic ending.
“Every child in Detroit deserves to feel safe riding their bike, playing outside, and simply being a child in their own neighborhood. We cannot accept a reality where our children are placed in harm’s way because someone chose to recklessly fire a gun.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-Speak Up.
