The NFL is really high on the Detroit Lions right now. As you know, you can't turn on the TV without hearing about them. They're also really high on the Lions opponents this week too. The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to be a big team in the AFC this year. 

With all the hype going on with both of these teams, the NFL has decided to flex this game into their nationally televised schedule. The game will still be on at 1:00 Eastern Time and will still be broadcast on your local Fox affiliate, but you'll also be able to watch the game on NFL Network.

The Lions and Jaguars will be spending the week together doing joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday. There's a lot to be watched for there. As for the game on Saturday, there might be a chance that we'll see some starters out there. We should definitely see the debut of Teddy Bridgewater then. 

We'll have all the information you'll need on the game as more news comes in. Stay locked here to A to Z Sports for all your news.
