Would you want the Lions to play the Eagles on the NFL’s opening night?
It seems like forever ago now when the Detroit Lions beat the Kansas City Chiefs to open up the 2023 season. The Lions were fresh off a strong finish in 2022 where they ended the season on a 6-2 run, and the Chiefs were celebrating their latest Super Bowl championship.
The Lions ended up spoiling Kansas City’s evening, and the image of Brian Branch returning an interception for a score against Patrick Mahomes will be seared into the memories of many Lions fans for years to come.
Now, the Lions have another opportunity to spoil a ring ceremony. We will know more once the schedule releases in May, but if the league wants to drum up a possible NFC Championship preview, I can’t think of any better option.
That brings us to today’s Question of the Day:
Do you want the Detroit Lions to play on opening night in 2025?
Answer: Despite being a cranky old guy that doesn’t love night games, I absolutely want the Lions to be the team to play the Eagles to open the 2025 season. I think after the injuries became too much for Detroit down the stretch of 2024, people forgot just how dominant they were earlier in the year when they were a healthier team.
This would be a great opportunity for the Lions to put the league on notice, and to set the tone for the rest of the conference moving forward.
