9-7 was the record the Detroit Lions finished with in 2018. With new coaching, schemes and a more difficult schedule, wins won’t come easily.
At home, the Lions take on the Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots, New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks. Hitting the road, Detroit plays the Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers.
The much improved NFC North opponents aren’t a cake-walk either. Players coming back from injury, splash free agent signings and some coaching changes have made the Lions job of winning a first ever division title that much harder.
