3.) vs. Detroit Lions (Oct. 18)

The Detroit Lions are one of the few teams on the Jags’ schedule that had a worse record than them in 2019 (3-12-1). While it’s likely they will improve that figure, they are one of the teams who many could argue that the Jags have more talent than.

The Lions’ defense wasn’t all that great in 2019 ranking next to last in yards allowed (400.4 YPG) and last in passing yards allowed per game (284.4 YPG). While they did add players like Jeff Okudah, Jamie Collins, Danny Shelton, and Desmond Trufant to bolster the unit, the game is so early in the season that the unit may not be clicking yet. If that’s the case, Minshew could be up for a great game in front of the home crowd.
