The 2022 NFL preseason is rapidly approaching, with team practices growing more intense by the day.
Following a 2019 season, in which the Detroit Lions won just three games, the team’s record was unlikely to improve significantly in 2020. Ultimately, the Lions finished the 2020 season with a 5-11 record, losing five of their last seven games, including four consecutive losses to end the year.
As we trudge through the NFL offseason, the news has come to a slowdown. While we wait for training camp to begin, there is still lots to discuss in the NFL world. This includes the Detroit Lions.
With the 2021 NFL Draft over and the schedule officially being released, it’s time for my third annual 32 part series where the top three questions will be posed for each NFL team. Here are those three questions for the Detroit Lions.
The Texans and Raiders have been unveiled as the bottom two teams in these power rankings. Today, the Detroit Lions come in at number 30.
Prior to the 2020 NFL season, three questions were posed for each of the 32 teams. This is the recap and answers to those questions for the Detroit Lions.
Entering the 2020 NFL season, the Detroit Lions knew they weren’t Super Bowl contenders. However, the expectation was to be in the playoff chase and ultimately end up in the postseason. After finishing last season 3-12-1, ownership accepted that the team was hit hard by injuries, and it was a lost year. However, the Lions finished the 2020 season with a 5-11 record, losing five of their last seven games, including four straight to end the year.
The Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars face-off Sunday with both teams looking to notch their second win of the season. The Lions are coming off their bye week with a 1-3 record, while the Jaguars enter the game at 1-4, including a four-game losing streak following last week’s 30-14 loss to the Texans.
After a few short weeks of NFL gameplay, an assessment on rookie players can be made. While fans shouldn’t overreact to the few weeks of football, there is evidence to show which rookies are legit and which are going to struggle.
The New Orleans Saints (1-2) are set to face the Detroit Lions (1-2) at 1 p.m. ET. Initially, Saints fullback Michael Burton tested positive for COVID on Saturday as per Ian Rapoport. The Athletic is now reporting his second test came back negative as did the tests of the players with close contact with Burton. The game will go on so let’s get into the Week 4 preview.
Week 3 of the National Football League saw a nearly even balance among standout rookie performances. Many offensive and defensive players had strong performances as the rookies started to get acclimated to the NFL level’s speed and precision.
Coming into this game, the Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals seemed to be heading in opposite directions, leading most to believe that Arizona would run away with this game. However, the Lions defense stepped up and slowed down quarterback Kyler Murray, and Detroit squeaked out a win on the road.
