For the first time since 2013, the Detroit Lions will open their season against a divisional foe. Despite the shortened offseason, the lack of a preseason and bunch of changes to their roster, the Lions cannot afford a slow start to the season in 2020 because the Green Bay Packers are right there waiting on Week 2.
While the Lions went through a ton of overhaul on defense this offseason, the Bears are the exact opposite. After failing to grasp head coach Matt Nagy’s scheme last year, the Bears overhauled their coaching staff to help Mitchell Trubisky and company reach their full potential.
