The Detroit Lions have many obstacles to overcome to become a playoff contender in 2020. And it appears the schedule did them no favors early.

Last week, the NFL released the schedule for their upcoming 2020 regular season. And for the Detroit Lions, it’s a roadmap to redemption.

For the past two seasons under head coach Matt Patricia, the Lions have failed to live up to even the most modest of expectations. The former Super Bowl-winning defensive coordinator took over a 9-7 team in Detroit from 2017 and essentially drove it into the ground.
