Allen Park — Put away your passports, Detroit Lions fans. The team won't play overseas during the 2023 season, extending its run without an international game to eight years. Only the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys will have had longer droughts.
The Lions had been eligible to battle the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany, but the defending Super Bowl champs will instead play host to the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt on Nov. 5.
Coincidentally, the last time the Lions took part in the NFL's International Series, they were hammered by the Chiefs in 2015 at London's Wembley Stadium, 45-10.
