The Green Bay Packers are no strangers to playing in prime time. In the team’s first 16 games of the 2022 regular season, they played in night games on five different occasions, with three of those coming on Sunday, one on Thursday, and one on Monday.
Given the frequency with which the Packers play in the evening, the NFL’s decision to move the Packers’ week 18 game against the Detroit Lions to Sunday Night Football should therefore be nothing new for the green and gold. However, the same cannot be said for the Lions, who will play in their first night game of the entire season.
