Nothing we learned when the schedule was released this evening told us anything we didn’t already know about how easy or hard any
team’s slate of opponents is
http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-tracy-walker-jersey , because we already knew every team’s home and road opponents. But we did learn
one way in which the schedule-makers helped the Lions and hurt the Patriots.That
is in rest days, where the Lions will have an NFL-best 12 more rest days than
their opponents over the course of the season, while the Patriots will have an
NFL-worst 13 fewer rest days than their opponents, according to Brian Burke of
ESPN.?That’s primarily because the Lions never play an opponent coming off a
bye, while the Patriots play three games against opponents coming off their
byes. The Lions also benefit from extra rest before playing at Minnesota, after
their annual Thanksgiving home game.Other teams that got favorable schedules
from a rest perspective include the Chargers
Miles Killebrew Jersey White , Buccaneers, Panthers and Bills. Teams that got unfavorable schedules include the Dolphins, Eagles, Packers and 49ers. The
fall has stopped."With the eighth pick in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft,
the Detroit Lions have selected Penn State Amani Oruwariye. It was shocking to
see Oruwariye that deep in the draft, but the Lions finally snagged him up and
he could potentially contend for a starting outside corner job immediately.Lions
