A season that started with promise is winding down to another frustrating finish for the Detroit Lions. A 27-17 loss at Denver on Sunday was Detroit’s eighth straight after a 2-0-1 start to 2019.
The Lions hoped to be playing for playoff positioning with a game remaining but all that’s left to decide is where they will pick next spring. They are 3-11-1 and, if things remain the same after next week, will have the third selection in the 2020 NFL draft with a home game left against the Green Bay Packers, a team fighting for playoff seeding.
