The Detroit Lions know all too well the perils of an NFL schedule, and as they come off a short week, they shift to a wounded opponent also set to go through the same logistical issues.
In Week 3, the Lions defeated the Baltimore Ravens in a physical, emotional Monday Night Football game. Then, they had to abruptly shift focus and prepare for the Cleveland Browns, one of the league's best defenses.
You'll have to excuse them if they don't feel badly for the Cincinnati Bengals, then, as they get set to do a similar thing in Week 5.
