We are past the days of the Detroit Lions playing in the comfortable 1 p.m. ET slot for 16 out of 17 weeks. Detroit is now a draw for nationally televised games, and FOX’s afternoon Game of the Week.
Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals is technically neither of those. It’s simply a West Coast trip, and that typically comes with a later playing time. Indeed, Detroit kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.
That means Lions fans will have to sit patiently during the 1 p.m. ET slate, as we wait for Lions football.
