Detroit Lions 2016 Season Preview

The Detroit Lions will have a big piece missing in their offense in 2016 in wide receiver Calvin Johnson, aka Megatron. Even though he is retired, that doesn't mean the Lions are doomed.

They still have a great quarterback in Matthew Stafford, who has thrown for 4,000 yards each of the last five seasons. The Lions also signed former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones to attempt to replace Megatron. 

This may not be a .500 season for a Detroit Lions. A 6-10 record seems reasonable for them as they attempt to rebuild their team after losing their franchise wide reciever. 2016 will prove if Stafford can still be the elite quarterback that he has been with Megatron.
