NFL Week 10 Madden Simulation: Detroit Lions vs. Washington Football Team

If online polls are accurate (note: they are not), nearly half of you don’t plan on tuning in for Sunday’s game between the Detroit Lions and Washington Football Team.

But what if I told you that there’s a better alternative to watching the Lions on Sunday that allows you to still root for them without the emotional attachment?

Introducing our weekly Madden Sims! Every week, I fire up Madden 21 on the old PC and watch the virtual Detroit Lions take on their weekly opponent in a full simulation. I don’t call plays, I don’t take on the identity of any players. I simply line up the two teams against each other, adjust the lineups according to the latest injury reports, and see who comes out on top.

It’s also a fun opportunity to do a live chat with you all. If you join our live stream at 10:30 a.m. ET, you can comment, ask questions about the Lions, and interact with other Lions fans in the live chat. We also like to run polls, and ask questions to the viewers to keep things fun and light. All the while, I’m providing live commentary for the Madden simulation

So come watch, have a little low-stakes fun, and spend some time with further disgruntled Lions fans.

Here are the details.
