A report from longtime NFL reporter John Clayton indicates the NFL is hedging its bets a bit with the 2020 schedule. When the official schedule is fully released on Thursday night, the first four weeks of games for every team will feature nonconference matchups.
For the Detroit Lions, that means playing against teams from the AFC. Like the rest of the NFC North, the Lions will face the four teams in the AFC South as the only nonconference foes on the slate.
The Lions are slated to play at the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans while being home for visits from the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans. The exact order of those games is still unknown, but expect those to be the first four games on the Detroit schedule later this year.
