Detroit Lions vs Atlanta Falcons Preview
At 2-11-1, the Lions have had one of the most frustrating seasons in the National Football League, finding themselves in the mix for the top overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
However to the credit of Dan Campbell, his side has been in many of those games despite a severe talent deficit.
They have an opportunity to play spoiler this weekend with Atlanta still clinging to hope of a late run to reach the postseason.
To make matters worse, they are going to have to go into this game without Jared Goff after he tested positive for Covid, coming after what may be his best performance of the season in the 18 point win over Arizona last week.
In backup Tim Boyle’s lone start this season the Lions stumbled to a 13-10 defeat in Cleveland and the Falcons should take advantage of the depleted Lions roster in this game.
