The Detroit Lions and the rest of the NFL will release the entire 2022 schedule at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night. But throughout the day, several games will leak along the way, allowing us to slowly build out the schedule before the official release. That’s what this post is for.
We already know the 17 opponents the Lions will be facing this year. That much is laid out by a pretty standard process. This year, the Lions will have their normal six divisional games, they’ll play every team in the NFC East, and every team in the AFC East.
