The Detroit Lions open up their preseason with the Atlanta Falcons in their only home game during the exhibition season.
It’s an exciting time to be a Lions fan, as the hype created by “Hard Knocks,” two high draft picks, and a unique coach like Dan Campbell has got fans drinking the Kool-Aid even more than they typically do this time of year.
But things can change in a hurry once the team actually takes the field. While preseason doesn’t matter in terms of wins and losses, the individual performances do hold weight.
