2016 NFL Power Rankings: Los Angeles Rams Fall Heading Into Final Week of Preseason

29. Detroit Lions (29)

Life without Calvin Johnson certainly won’t be easy for the Detroit Lions, but Matthew Stafford is going to do everything in his power to help this offense still be productive.

Stafford and the Lions failed to find the end zone during their third preseason game as the quarterback took plenty of hits against the Baltimore Ravens. Even though he’s always been the type of player who makes his teammates better, Stafford knows he’s facing the toughest adjustment of his career when it comes to playing without Johnson.

As much as players like Golden Tate and Anquan Boldin would love to make the same type of impact, they’re not even going to come close.

Detroit has plenty of talent at the wide receiver position, but let’s hope their struggles against the Ravens aren’t a preview of what’s in store. Otherwise, it could turn out to be a long year in Detroit.
