Since Wednesday, we have highlighted a lot of good things about the Detroit Lions’ 2025 schedule. I shared the six things I love. John Whiticar noted that the Lions are getting an advantage when it comes to the bye week. There was a hidden benefit when it comes to travel, and while the strength of schedule looks impossibly hard, the rest advantage is significant.
Now it’s time to talk about the other side of the coin. It’s far from a perfect schedule for the Lions. They may have gotten some things in their favor, but they were undoubtedly unlucky in some other aspects.
