Notes: Detroit Lions game was 10th most-watched TV broadcast in 2022

It comes as no surprise to Lions fans that this year’s playoff-chasing team is a joy to watch, but it looks like the rest of country has caught on. As everyone reading this site is aware of, the league moved the regular season finale between the Packers and Lions for a possible Wild Card berth to prime time on Sunday night.

That move looks like a really good one because the last time the Lions played a major opponent on national television, they drew really well.
