On Sunday, the Detroit Lions not only lost to the Minnesota Vikings but in doing so, they clinched last-place in the NFC North…again.

Since we know the Lions will be in last place in the North, coupled with the NFL’s schedule formula, we now know which teams will be on the schedule in 2020, with the exception of one opponent (Redskins or Giants)
So, without further ado, here are the current opponents the Lions will face in 2020.
HOME GAMES
Chicago Bears
Green Bay Packers
Minnesota Vikings
New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
New York Giants or Washington Redskins (whoever finishes in last place in the NFC East)
ROAD GAMES
Chicago Bears
Green Bay Packers
Minnesota Vikings
Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers
Tennessee Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars
Arizona Cardinals
Lions' 2020 schedule almost set after Sunday's loss:
Home: Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Houston, Indianapolis, and NY Giants or Washington (NFC East last-place team)
Road: Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, Atlanta, Carolina, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Arizona— John Niyo (@JohnNiyo) December 9, 2019
