Madden 18 is set to drop August 25, but we already have an idea of how the game’s producers have ranked the Detroit Lions and their roster.
Currently, Madden 18 has the Lions ranked second in the NFC North with an “84” score, second behind the Green Bay Packers with an “88”. The Minnesota Vikings check in at “79” and the Chicago Bears round out the division at “74”.
When it comes to individual player ratings, however, nobody on the Lions roster scored higher than cornerback Darius Slay at “89”. Quarterback Matthew Stafford scored an “87” ranking, while tight end Eric Ebron scored an “81”.
Ebron himself took notice of the ranking, and he wasn’t exactly pleased.
