The Detroit Lions open the 2025 NFL regular season against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 7 at Lambeau Field (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS).
After back-to-back seasons with high hopes, Lions running back David Montgomery says he's "tired of being close" to a Super Bowl. That's the mindset in Detroit as coaches and players view the upcoming season as their year to take it all.
This offseason, the Lions bet on familiar faces and better health instead of going all-in on the free agent market. They re-signed most of the same roster from their record-setting 15-win season in 2024 with hopes of learning from their divisional round upset loss to the Washington Commanders during last year's playoffs despite being the NFC's top seed.
