The league was rewarded handsomely, as Detroit gained steam as America’s darling team, an underdog story that exceeded expectations.
With the schedule release slated for Wednesday evening, it begs the question of how many primetime games the Lions will have this year. In the meantime, you can track all the schedule leak rumors here.
