After Week 1, the Lions roared up the USA TODAY weekly power poll. Detroit now sits at No. 5 after beginning the year at No. 14.

Interestingly, the Chiefs are still one spot above the Lions at No. 4. That’s the earned credit of being a defending Super Bowl champion. San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas are the top three, in order.
