The Detroit Lions are poised for a breakout year for a group of players plagued by injury last season. The Lions open with Chicago, then travel to Green Bay, Arizona, and New Orleans.
The last four games will likely be the most important, and could decide the division. They will begin the final stint at home against Green Bay and then travel to Tennessee before home games against Tampa Bay and Minnesota.
The main key for the Detroit Lions will be quarterback Matthew Stafford
If Lions signal caller and veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford stays healthy, Detroit could have one of the better offenses in the league- and that should carry them. All four teams in the NFC North have significant questions.
The defense shows potential in Okudah and Okwara. Hockenson’s rookie season was rough, but he flashed the upside the Lions were looking for when they selected the Iowa product in the first round of the 2019 draft.
