]]> They only get one bye a season, so they’d better make good use of it. I think the Lions were selected for the best week off this year: week nine. In the past decade, the Lions haven’t had a bye week beyond week seven except for in 2006 when they were off in week eight. Week nine is perfect for these guys because it’s exactly midway; they don’t have to stretch any part of their season extra long until they reach the post-season.  Teams that took their byes back in week five or so will start to wear down in weeks 13, 14, etc. Hopefully, this break at the half is beneficial to the Lions come December when everyone’s running on tired legs and scraping for wins.
