The Detroit Lions have not been a team featured in primetime television very often as of late. It’s hard to blame the NFL schedule makers, as the Lions have been one of the worst teams in the league since 2018. In fact, since 2019, the Lions have only played in primetime three times.
But the tides are turning in Detroit. The Lions won eight of their last 10 games in 2022, even earning themselves one of those three primetime games with their season finale against the Packers getting flexed to “Sunday Night Football.”
As the new favorite to win the NFC North and cheeky pick to make some serious noise in the playoffs, the Lions are in the national spotlight.
