“Detroit, we love you.”
That’s the message from the Detroit Lions as they unveiled their 2025 schedule to fans Wednesday night.
What’s shaping up to be a pretty tough slate for the reigning NFC North champions was officially announced and the Lions decided to take a tour around the downtown Detroit area to showcase their matchups.
Drone shots featured a Lions’ helmet going mask-to-mask with an opponent scattered around Detroit landmarks like the Motown Museum, Barry Sanders’ statue and William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor.
Key home games for the Lions this season include a Thanksgiving matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and visits from 2024 playoff teams the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
