Despite the season-ending loss to Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders, there were many positives for the Lions throughout the year. They made franchise history by putting together their best-ever regular season with a 15-2 record to show for it.

Detroit also remained one of the most dynamic offenses in the league, boasted by stars Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery. They had the best scoring offense with 33.2 points per game while averaging the second-most total yards per game with 409.5.

As for Arnold, he showcased promise throughout his rookie season. He had 60 tackles, 10 pass deflections and a fumble recovery in 16 games, demonstrating he has a bright future as part of the Lions' defense.

What will be important for them is to get back to full health, learn from their mistakes in the playoffs, and move forward to be the Super Bowl contenders they aim to be
