The number three plays a huge role in the rest of the Detroit Lions season. With just three games left, they need to lose them all to put themselves in the best possible position in the 2020 NFL Draft. According to tankathon.com, the Lions with their three (and a half) wins are now sitting in the fifth spot of the draft:
- Cincinnati Bengals (1-12)
- New York Giants (2-11)
- Washington Redskins (3-10)
- Miami Dolphins (3-10)
- Detroit Lions (3-9-1)
- Arizona Cardinals (3-9-1)
But with three more losses, which will bring their streak of losses to nine straight (which is nicely divisible by three), the Detroit Lions might be able to crack the top three of the draft.
