When the Detroit Lions take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday afternoon, they will be without Interim Head Coach Darrell Bevell, Defensive Coordinator Cory Undlin, Defensive Line Coach Bo Davis, Defensive Backs Coach Steve Gregory and Linebackers Coach Ty McKenzie due to COVID-19 protocols.

Just moments ago, Bevell spoke to the media and he said that the Lions “did push to have things that could help” the team in regards to having Saturday’s game pushed back a day. Bevell added that if the NFL would have obliged and moved the game back a day, the entire coaching staff would have been available.
Bevell said the Lions "did push to have things that could help us" when it comes to having Saturday's game delayed … If the game was Sunday, Bevell said he and other Lions coaches would be clear to coach the game

Yep, the NFL screwed the Lions again, probably for rating this time. I am shocked….
Sure blame the NFL for the terrible team. Blame the lousy ownership.
