Next 5 Notes, Week 9: Look ahead to the Detroit Lions’ next five opponents

The Lions are riding high after their dominating 30-17 win at Green Bay on Monday night, finishing the first half of their schedule 4-4. In terms of overall record, the second half opponents for Detroit look much easier. Here are the next five teams the Lions will face and the biggest stories coming out of their locker rooms.

 

WEEK 10 | vs. CLEVELAND BROWNS

The Cleveland Browns (0-8) had a bye week, which means this is the only week in the NFL season so far that they didn’t get a loss. Cleveland having an extra week to prepare is about the only reason Lions’ fans should give this game a second thought.

Unless you are convinced that no team other than the 2008 Lions will be inept enough to ever go 0-16, then maybe you believe karma will find a way to hand a win to the lowly Browns. Even without playing, the Browns got some distractions this week as receiver Josh Gordon was conditionally reinstated by the NFL after he received a drug suspension in February of 2015. Gordon cannot begin practicing until November 20, but he is at the practice facility and attending meetings.

We will see if that causes any kind of distraction when the Browns come to Detroit on Sunday.
