Lions’ Kerby Joseph Proclaims Detroit as NFC North’s Finest, Declares ‘We Should Win’ the Division
In a bold statement, Lions defensive back Kerby Joseph has declared that Detroit is the premier team in the NFC North. Following an impressive Week 7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, Joseph made his sentiments clear to reporters, indicating that he fully expects his team to come out on top in the division. “I believe we should win the division,” said the confident 23-year-old safety. “We have the talent to dominate and make our way to the playoffs, with the ultimate goal of reaching the Super Bowl. The chemistry among us is strong, and we are playing exceptional football.”
Joseph’s comments resonate, especially after the Lions handed the Vikings their first defeat of the season, winning a thrilling matchup with a score of 31-29. Just a week prior, Detroit had a strong showing against the Dallas Cowboys, further solidifying their position as a formidable team in the league.
While it might be easy to overlook Joseph’s claims amid competition from Minnesota, Green Bay, and Chicago—all teams boasting a combined impressive 14-5 record—his confidence appears justified given the recent performances of the Lions. Looking ahead, Joseph expressed optimism about the potential return of pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson from injury, hinting that Hutchinson could make a comeback during a potential Super Bowl run. However, for now, Joseph insists the focus remains on taking it one game at a time, starting with their upcoming showdown against the Titans at Ford Field.
