The results from our latest SB Nation Reacts Survey are in and fans’ confidence has returned in a strong way.
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, I 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%
And now, with a second win over the Bears, and maybe a little bit of common sense (based on the comment section from the original piece) the survey results are back up to 98%.
Additionally, SB Nation also ran a national survey asking who would cover the Lions -3.5 spread over the San Francisco 49ers , set by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook , and the national audience continues to side with Detroit, with 90% of national fans believing the Lions win and cover.
