4 Key Players Lions Need to Defeat Chicago Bears: https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/4-key-players-lions-need-to-defeat-bears
Predicting which NFL teams will have the most impactful rookie classes in 2020 (3. DETROIT LIONS - While only third-rounder Jonah Jackson was listed as a starter on the Lions' unofficial depth chart (right guard), that doesn't mean the rest of the rookies won't have roles. I fully expect cornerback Jeffrey Okudah and edge rusher Julian Okwara to at least factor in nickel/dime situations early and push for starting jobs sooner rather than later. I would also imagine second-round running back D’Andre Swift will split carries with Kerryon Johnson once he’s back healthy. To say we liked all four of those rookies mentioned would be an understatement. Okudah was easily our top corner, Swift our top running back, Jackson our second-ranked interior lineman, and Okwara our fourth-ranked edge defender. Even in limited roles, I’d expect a significant impact from that kind of haul.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-predicting-nfl-teams-most-impactful-rookie-classes-2020
QB Index: Ranking all 32 starters entering Week 1 (9. Matt Stafford (2019 stats: 8 games | 64.3 pct | 2,499 pass yds | 8.6 ypa | 19 pass TD | 5 INT | 66 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 3 fumbles lost): It's easy to forget the Lions were feeling frisky at 3-4-1 with Stafford playing some of the best ball of his career when his streak of 136 consecutive starts was abruptly halted by a midseason back injury. Detroit wouldn't win again the rest of the year, exposing the team's lack of depth while highlighting Stafford's value as a veteran quarterback finally finding the consistency that eluded him during his first decade in the league.): https://www.nfl.com/news/qb-index-week-1-ranking-all-32-starters-entering-2020-nfl-season
NFL continuity rankings: Results both unsurprising and revealing (8. Detroit Lions (13.5): Aside from a few injury-curtailed years, including 2019, QB Matthew Stafford has been the guy for most of the past 11 seasons. He was on track for a career year last season before his back betrayed him and will likely have to exceed that level to keep coach Matt Patricia employed into 2021.): https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2020/09/11/nfl-continuity-rankings-saints-steelers-patriots-packers-cowboys/3354932001/
