Congratulations, you made it! After months of anticipation, your Detroit Lions will play an actual game this week. Their Week 1 opponent, the Arizona Cardinals, have a new head coach in Kliff Kingsbury, a shiny new rookie quarterback in Kyler Murray and nowhere to go but up after finishing 3-13 in 2018.
In head coach Matt Patricia’s second season, the Lions have also retooled, with a remade tight end corps, a promising young running back returning from injury in Kerryon Johnson and an improved defensive unit looking to build on last season’s strong finish.
