On Monday, the Detroit Lions made it official by announcing on Twitter that they have signed RB Adrian Peterson to a 1-year contract.
Following the announcement, Peterson took to Twitter himself and quote-tweeted the Lions with some flexing arms.

2020 DETROIT LIONS GAME-BY-GAME PREDICTIONS [FINAL EDITION]
It has been a crazy offseason! From the free agency period, to the NFL Draft, to positive COVID-19 tests at training camp, it is crazy to think that we are less than a week away from the first Detroit Lions game of the 2020 season.
Though I do not believe Bob Quinn did enough to address the defense, it will be improved in 2020. That, coupled with a Matthew Stafford led offense that will be one of the top 5 units in the league, will be enough for the Lions to contend in 2020.
Here are my final 2020 Detroit Lions game-by-game predictions of the offseason. It is going to be a fun year!
Week 1 vs. Bears
Prediction: Mitchell Trubisky will be the starter for the Bears and that is good news and bad news for the Lions. Trubisky is one of the worst starting quarterbacks on the planet (all levels included) but he has owned the Detroit Lions. That being said, I truly believe this is THE most important game of the season and the Lions will win. LIONS 27 BEARS 20
Week 2 at Packers
Prediction: Let me begin by saying that I hate the Packers. Aaron Rodgers helped lead the Pack to a great record in 2019 but in my opinion, that was fool’s gold, as they proved in the playoffs. This will be an extremely close game but Green Bay will win it on the final play of the game. PACKERS 27 LIONS 24
Week 3 at Cardinals
Prediction: The Cardinals are an up and coming team and for some reason, the Lions do not know how to win in the desert. Until now. LIONS 31 CARDINALS 23
Week 4 vs. Saints
Prediction: The New Orleans Saints are Super Bowl contenders and Drew Brees is still one of the better QBs in the NFL. This one will be a little too much for the Lions to handle. SAINTS 30 LIONS 23
Week 5 BYE WEEK
Week 6 at Jaguars
Prediction: Coming off a bye week, the Lions will dominate from the opening kickoff. The end. LIONS 38 JAGUARS 17
Week 7 at Falcons
Prediction: A year ago, I said the Falcons would make some noise and make a run in the playoffs. I was wrong. Well, I think the Falcons will be a solid team and they will get the best of the Lions on their home turf in the ATL. FALCONS 30 LIONS 23
Week 8 vs. Colts
Prediction: A lot of people are very high on the Colts but I am not. The Lions offense will be too much for the Colts defense to handle. LIONS 31 COLTS 24
