Finishing better is one of the things the Detroit Lions’ staff is preaching in 2020.
In order for a team to post a 3-12-1 record during an NFL season like the Detroit Lions did last year, several things have to wrong. And for the Lions, injuries played a major role in the team underperforming in 2019.
Last season, several starters for the Lions landed on Injured Reserve. The biggest name being quarterback Matthew Stafford, whose final appearance was in Week Nine after a back injury forced him to miss eight games.
