If we’re being honest with ourselves, the outlook for Sunday is bleak for the Detroit Lions. The Green Bay Packers just beat up on a Minnesota Vikings team with high hopes for 2020, while the Lions had a huge fourth-quarter letdown against a Chicago Bears team many were expected to take another step back this season. Of course, we all tend to overreact to Week 1, and there are teams that looked a lot better than they’ll actually be or a lot worse.
But even when you get into the individual matchups of this game, it’s a scary scenario for Detroit.
