New Orleans Saints schedule 2020: 3 Toughest, 3 easiest games

Second Easiest Game: Week 4 at Detroit Lions

Let’s put it plain and simple: Matthew Stafford may be the best quarterback to never play on a good team. A struggling franchise, in a difficult division and a team who doesn’t look to have made any extreme improvements for this season.

They drafted Jeffrey Okudah, who I’ve alluded to as the best defensive player in this rookie class, an unpopular opinion among most. But that came at the expense of losing Darius Slay to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Stafford has a few solid weapons to work with. Kerryon Johnson and Kenny Golladay lead the group, along with Marvin Jones Jr., Geronimo Allison and rookie D’Andre Swift filling out the upper end of the offensive group. A lack of defensive production will still be the Lions’ main downfall.

Even though this battle will take place in Detroit, New Orleans should have a fairly easy time dealing with them. The Lion finished the season with a record of 3-12-1 last year, and I wouldn’t keep my hopes up for a large improvement this season.

Even with being at risk of a blowout, this game still has the potential to be interesting. Stafford is an intriguing player to watch and is still extremely skilled. A battle between him and the strong offense of New Orleans may be interesting, even if it does end in a large margin of victory for the away team.
