NFL exec explains why Detroit Lions only team without a primetime game: 'It looks odd'

The Detroit Lions are the only NFL team that will not play a game in primetime this fall, the second time in three seasons they do not have a Thursday, Sunday or Monday night game on their schedule.

And while one prominent league executive admits that "looks odd," he insisted the Lions' TV snub was simply a function of how the final schedule came out.
