Wednesday open thread: Which 2022 matchup is the worst for the Lions?

Everyone has their favorite matchups when the schedule is released. You circle the division rivals, the teams that left you heartbroken last season, the primetime games (unless you’re a Detroit Lions fan), and you plan which game(s) you want to get tickets for if you’re lucky. There is one thing we don’t talk enough about, though, which matchups just aren’t that great.

Question of the day: What’s the worst game on the Lions’ 2022 schedule?

My answer: Thanksgiving against the Buffalo Bills.

It’s hard to really pick a start time game as the worst matchup because all the Lions games start at, or are close to, 1:00 p.
