Away: Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars are prepared to be the league’s doormat in 2020, likely in an effort to secure Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, which means the Lions might have a game in which they’re actually favored here.

With Stafford in command and the trio of Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola healthy, the Jags secondary is going to have a difficult time covering all of Stafford’s options. After trading Jalen Ramsey last season and A.J. Bouye this spring, they’ve only added former Lion Rashaan Melvin and swapped out Calais Campbell for… Al Woods?

Basically this is the only green light on the Lions entire schedule and they need to make sure they’re focused on getting it done.
