Allen Park — The Detroit Lions’ 2017 schedule has been unveiled. Here are our quick observations from the release (complete schedule below).
Early home cooking
Last year, team president Rod Wood asked the NFL for a home game to close out the season and the Lions were granted a finale against the Green Bay Packers. Asked if he made any requests this year, Wood acknowledged he was hoping for a more favorable start to the campaign, with at least two of the first four games at home.
Once again, Wood’s request was granted.
