Here’s the quirky truth: Lions fans are obsessive schedulers. We check the NFL website more than our own calendars. We text our friends: “Is the game at 1 or 4? Did flexing happen? Did they move it to Netflix?”
The answer changes weekly. One week it’s a sleepy 1 PM game against the Bears. The next, it’s a prime-time blitz against the Packers under the lights. You cannot predict it. You can only prepare.
Also, weird fact: The Lions have played at every possible time slot in the last five years. They’ve kicked off at 9:30 AM, 1 PM, 4:05 PM, 4:25 PM, 8:15 PM, and even 4:00 PM on Christmas Eve (which is basically a crime against Santa). Why? Because the NFL is a glorious chaos beast.
