What you need to know: Detroit Lions vs New Orleans Saints in Week 4
The Detroit Lions (1-2) are hosting the New Orleans Saints (1-2) in Week 4 of the 2020 season, with both teams hoping to even their record. The Lions have a bye in Week 5, and that extended break would be much easier on them — and their fans — if they held a 2-2 record.
If you missed any of the drama from the last night’s false-positive COVID-19 test result, it was quite the roller coaster, and in the end, the game will be played at its original time.
Here’s everything you need to know for how to watch or listen to this week’s game.
