Detroit Lions Schedule 2022 Detroit Lions Schedule

Despite being featured on HBO’s Hard Knocks this summer and having an excellent offseason, the Lions are the only team without a primetime game this season. Detroit still has its typical Thanksgiving game, which is against the Bills this year, but Lions fans won’t be thrilled that they don’t have the opportunity to watch their team play under the lights this year. The Lions’ hopes for a resurgent season are boosted by having the fifth-easiest schedule by opponents’ combined 2021 record. The Lions get things started with three of their first four games at home this year against the Eagles, Commanders, and Seahawks; their one home game in that stretch came against the Vikings. The Lions have an early bye week this year in Week 6, the earliest slot for byes this year. However, the Lions’ schedule provides plenty of opportunities for wins, especially when they face the Jaguars after an extended break following their Thanksgiving game. Detroit is building the infrastructure for a winning team, and they could surprise some people this season.
