Only one game remains in the preseason of the 2022 NFL campaign: The Lions at the Steelers.

Sunday's game is interesting on several facts, including the fact that Detroit is getting the "Hard Knocks" treatment and Pittsburgh appears to have a potential Day 1 starter at quarterback with rookie Kenny Pickett.

The idea of pitting Pickett, the No. 20 pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, against Aidan Hutchinson, the No. 2 overall pick, is tantalizing. But it remains to be seen just how much action those first-round picks will see in Sunday's game — especially with the season so close.

Either way, Sunday's game will represent the last semi-meaningful action in the NFL for two weeks before. By the time the season kicks off in earnest on Sept. 8, games will be about winning — not who makes the final roster.

Lions and Eagles and football, oh my.

The Lions and Eagles make for a pair of the NFL's most interesting squads for the 2022 season. The Eagles outperformed expectations in 2022, while the Lions were just about in line with what people were expecting.

This year could prove to be more of the same, just with some heightened expectations. Nick Sirianni earned praise for his ability to squeeze a very good season out of passer Jalen Hurts, and now with an added offensive weapon in A.J. Brown, the team could prove to be pesky in the NFC East once again.

Dan Campbell and the Lions have a similar opportunity in the NFC North: With one of the league's best offensive lines, there's a world in which Detroit can go from worst to … well, maybe not first, but somewhere better than finishing in last.
