Lions could be in line for another primetime-heavy season

Even after missing the playoffs in 2025, Detroit continues to receive major national attention.

A Week 2 road showdown against Josh Allen and the Bills on Thursday Night Football would immediately give Dan Campbell’s team another marquee spotlight game early in the season.

Add in the Germany game and Thanksgiving matchup, and the Lions are once again shaping up to be one of the NFL’s most visible teams.

Now fans wait to see what other leaks surface before Thursday night’s official release.

And if history tells us anything… plenty more are coming.
