Detroit Lions are only NFL team without a primetime game on the 2022 schedule

In my quick reactions to the Detroit Lions’ 2022 schedule, I noted what a lot of people first realized upon looking at the slate: the Lions had no primetime games on the schedule. On the plus side, that means the Lions have a lot of consistency on their schedule, with every single game currently slated for 1 p.m. ET or 12:30 p.m. for the Thanksgiving Day game. On the negative side, it means the Lions won’t be on the national radar unless they earn their way onto Sunday Night Football via the NFL’s flexible schedule.
