Detroit Lions Tickets

After winning three League Championships before the Super Bowl era, the Detroit Lions have a history of not getting to the Big Dance. Poor front office management may have led to an era of mediocrity that was capped-off by the worst season ever but the winds of change are blowing hard in Ford Field. The 2009 Detroit Lions may have a rough year but with plenty of great talent waiting to be utilized, bright days are ahead and many teams will be shocked by the fiery underdogs.

Much like his team, rookie QB Matthew Stafford is a limitless talent that needs experience and coaching to grow into an elite force in the NFL. If he is still too raw, veteran Daunte Culpepper can easily come in and run the offense. WR Calvin Johnson is the most dynamic receiver in the game and ranks as the best player on the team by far. Calvin Johnson can burn defenses deep, allowing RB Kevin Smith and rookie TE Brandon Pettigrew plenty of room to work. The defense is also being overhauled and will be a tough bunch led by LBs Ernie Sims and Julian Peterson.

New head coach Jim Schwartz comes over from the Tennessee Titans where he was a defensive coordinator. A no-nonsense motivator, Jim Schwartz will have the team built for battle. The NFC North may be one of the tougher divisions in football and the Detroit Lions will face the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, and Green Bay Packers twice. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens headline non-division opponents.

Detroit, Michigan’s Ford Field serves as the home turf of the Detroit Lions. The domed stadium is often bathed in natural light from the numerous skylights, while the FieldTurf surface of the field allows for more speed and more touchdowns.
