The schedule is out and there are a couple positive takeaways from a team health standpoint. After a rough 2024 season, the Lions will happily take any advantage they can get.
Rest differential
The Lions will enjoy a historically good rest differential for 2025. In fact, it's tied for second best in the past 23 years. This means that they will have significantly more rest days between games compared to their opponents. This extra rest throughout the year should help with injury healing, injury prevention, as well as player availability for games.
Travel miles
The Lions will be traveling the 4th-least amount of miles in the coming season.
