The first Detroit Lions preseason game of the 2019 season is just hours away. And while preseason football only loosely resembles the actual thing, there’s something special about that opening game that really gets the blood flowing.
It’s our first real look at the 2019 team and their new additions. T.J. Hockenson, Jesse James, Trey Flowers, Mike Daniels, Justin Coleman, Jahlani Tavai, Rashaan Melvin and many more are expected to make their Lions debut on Thursday night, and I don’t think I could be more excited for an opening preseason game.
