The Detroit Lions start the 2025 campaign by taking on the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon as the NFC North division battle kicks off with two divisional games in Week 1.
“Division opponent at Lambeau, nationally televised game. I mean, we love this stuff, we live for this, so this is good, this is exciting,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week. ”Listen, any win sets you up for the season, helps you. And that’s really what it’s about.”
