The Detroit Lions will look to make a bit of noise in the ultra-competitive NFC North this season but will have to deal with the likes of the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.
The Lions finished with six wins last season in Matt Patricia’s first season as a head coach. With the defensive additions in Trey Flowers and Mike Daniels, Detroit should look a bit better on that side of the ball. However, losing a talent like Ziggy Ansah will definitely impact them.
Detroit added tight end Jesse James in the offseason and drafted T.J. Hockenson with the No. 8 pick in the draft. The team added Danny Amendola but lost Golden Tate in free agency.
It will be interesting to see how Matthew Stafford responds with some new additions to his receiving core.
Read on for more about the Lions heading into the 2019 season.
