The Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 6.
According to a report from Jordan Schultz, the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs will face off on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 6 of the regular season . The game is set to be played in Arrowhead Stadium and will air on NBC.
It’s the second time in three years the two teams will face off in primetime in Kansas City. In 2023, the two teams opened up the NFL season with a Thursday night Week 1 matchup. The Lions came away with the upset win, 21-20.
This year, the two teams still have Super Bowl aspirations. The Chiefs are coming off a season in which they came one game short of completing a three-peat. They were absolutely embarrassed by the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Could a Super Bowl hangover be on the horizon for the Chiefs?
The Lions had their own disappointing end to the 2024 season. After posting an NFL-best 15-2 record last year and earning the NFC’s top seed, Detroit went one-and-done in the postseason, losing to the Commanders in convincing fashion. Can they remain one of the best teams in the conference or are they due for a step back?
As of now, this is the only primetime leak for the Lions’ 2025 schedule, although they are scheduled to play on a national stage for both Thanksgiving and Christmas .
