Week 14: vs. Detroit Lions

Kneecaps, everyone protect your kneecaps!

Seriously though, the Denver Broncos have a good chance at getting back on track after another two-game slide.

I don’t think the Detroit Lions will be as bad as everyone assumes, but I still think they will be bad. They got a depreciative downgrade at the quarterback position but upgraded their offensive line by taking Penei Sewell atop their 2021 NFL Draft.

Kenny Golladay left via free agency, but they added Breshad Perriman and Tyrell Williams, also downgrades at the wide receiver position.

This game could not come at a better time as the Broncos get back on track with a dominating victory over the Detroit Lions at home.

Lions key 2021 additions

  • QB Jared Goff
  • WR Tyrell Williams
  • WR Breshad Perriman
  • OT Penei Sewell
  • DL Levi Onwuzurike
  • DL Michael Brockers

Prediction: Win (8-5)
