The Detroit Lions 2024 opponents were set last night after the Bills win over the Dolphins. Aside from that Bills win likely keeping the Lions out of Brazil next season, the Lions got some more pretty good news in terms of their away schedule. Let's take a look at the full slate of 2024 opponents: 

Home

  • Packers
  • Bears
  • Vikings

Away

  • Cowboys
  • Colts

Now, it's all going to depend on how the schedule makers put the season together for the Lions. They might luck out even more and get the Bears and Packers games in September and avoid the winter altogether. The flip side of course is that they shove both of those games in december and January and we get a snow bowl or two. We'll find out in June I suppose.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is a players coach for sure. Being that he's a former player himself, he can understand how important incentives are to players and he helped a player achieve that incentive at the end of the Lions win over the Vikings. After C.J. Gardner-Johnson interception, the Lions just needed a […]
