The Detroit Lions enter a well-needed bye week this weekend. This is a chance for the team to learn what they need to fix going forward.

No, this is not an article bashing Detroit Lions quarterback, Matthew Stafford. I just wanted to get that out of the way before people think I’m putting all the Lions woes this season on him. However, this doesn’t mean that he’s been as good as he could be this season.

Detroit currently sits at 1-3, tied for 3rd place with the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North.
