Obviously this isn’t why we lost, but when your scouting and doing film study for a game before a short week, it must be beneficial to have the most recent game film also features the team you play after the short week.

Week 10 Lions @ Chargers

Week 11 Charger @ Packers

Week 12 Packers @ Lions (off short week)

By contrast the most recent Packers/Bears film the Lions could study is from Week 1.
