The Detroit Lions will open the season at home, hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 11 at 1 p.m., according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The meeting will be a rematch of one of Detroit's worst losses from a year ago, a 44-6 drubbing at Ford Field on Halloween that led into the team's bye week. Philadelphia did much of the damage on the ground, rushing for 236 yards and four touchdowns in the victory.
Detroit's offense struggled mightily in the contest, mustering a meager 91 yards through two quarters while being shut out in the opening half.
