Overview
- The regular-season game kicks off Sunday, Nov. 15 at Allianz Arena in Munich with a 9:30 a.m. ET start that will air nationally on FOX and stream on FOX One and NFL+.
- Detroit, 6-2, has won four straight while holding opponents to 21 points or fewer in each game and added safety Andre Cisco from the New York Jets to bolster its pass defense.
- Coach Dan Campbell said he was focused on preparing to play and downplayed travel concerns, and he also delivered a blunt radio remark saying the Lions were ready to “get after New England’s ass.”
- New England arrives 5-4 after a 45-27 loss to Green Bay and plans a limited practice schedule in Germany to adjust before the early kickoff.
- Large contingents of Lions fans are traveling on fan packages and cultural trips for the game, which highlights the NFL’s expanding international slate and the shorter acclimation windows teams must manage.
