Earlier this offseason, it was revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs would be hosting an international game in Germany for the 2023 season. That led many to speculate that the Detroit Lions could be their overseas opponent. The Lions are one of eight opponents who will play a road game against the Chiefs in 2023, and of those eight opponents, the Lions are the only team who has not played an international games in the past five years—excluding the Bills, who are already scheduled to play in London in 2023.
There were rumors earlier this offseason that the Chiefs will be hosting the Chicago Bears in Germany this season.
