Detroit Lions game in week 3 at the Arizona Cardinals

The Detroit Lions will play their first away game of the 2024 season on Sunday, traveling to Arizona to face the Cardinals.

For Detroit, Sunday’s game is an opportunity to rebound from a disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while standing in their way is an up-and-coming Cardinals team that had an offensive outburst in Week 2, dominating the Los Angeles Rams.

The Lions plan to use all of their weapons on offense, including players like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Quarterback Jared Goff has thrown just one touchdown pass and three interceptions in the first two games.

Although the offense failed to get peak performance from the entire group at the same time in both games, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson expressed confidence in each player’s ability to be ready to contribute when called upon.

“That’s unique about our group,” Johnson said. “We have a bunch of unselfish guys that play hard for each other. As a former receivers coach, I’m very aware that these guys want to get involved, but at the same time, as a team, if we get it right — St. Brown has a bad game, OK? LaPorta has a bad game, maybe Jamo — we just rotate it around, and that’s why we don’t want anybody to have a long dry spell.”
