After a tie in Week 1, a supercharge is what the Lions needed to help them through a long season. They got it in their home opener at Ford Field. Not a ton of points were scored by the Darrell Bevell offense, but a win is a win, and the Lions got just that in a 13-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Here are three takeaways for the Lions from this first victory of the season-
The Lions 2018 season left much to be desired. After a great first play from scrimmage resulting in an interception returned for a touchdown, the Lions season turned completely upside down. Matthew Stafford had one of his worst seasons as a pro and offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter would be replaced during the offseason by Darrell Bevell. After an up and down start resulting in a 3-3 record midway through October, they would go on to lose seven of the next ten games ending the season with a 6-10 record, their worst since 2012.
During this week’s draft, the Detroit Lions built up assets to help construct the future of their franchise, writes Adam Cook.
After a disastrous 2018 season, where they fired longtime head coach Mike McCarthy and were held out of the NFL Playoffs for the second straight season, General manager, Brian Gutekunst realized he needed to make some serious offseason changes to the roster, deciding to break with tradition, Gutekunst went wild in free agency, breaking the bank to beef up considerably on defense.
