Los Angeles Chargers 2019 opponent preview: Detroit Lions

Playing in opposite conferences, this is a team the Chargers see just once every four years and a trip to Ford Field in Detroit is one they make just once a decade. However, the Lions are a hungry team and will be looking to make an early-season statement against what many perceive as one of the AFC’s best teams.

The Lions have a winnable game to start the season and will be the first team to ever face Kyler Murray in the regular season as they open against the Arizona Cardinals. However, that game is on the road and for a team that has made the playoffs just four times since 1999, the Lions know an 0-2 start is a hole they don’t want to have to dig out of.
