Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez answers three questions on the 2020 Detroit Lions schedule released Thursday:
Is there a must-win game on the Detroit Lions’ 2020 schedule?
Week 10 against visiting Washington on Nov. 15 feels like a must-win game. It comes against one of the few terrible teams (Washington was 3-13 last season) on the Lions’ schedule and it’s a home game followed by a daunting finish to the schedule that includes four playoff teams. Another way to describe a must-win game is to call it a must-not-lose game, and losing games to bad teams at Ford Field counts more than losing games to good teams on the road.
