Calling All Detroit Fans: You WON'T Miss the Lions on Sunday (Unless You Get Distracted by a Squirrel)
Sundays = Football. Football = Lions. Lions = NOT missing a single play (ideally).
But with a million channels and remotes that look like they belong on the Starship Enterprise, how do you find the glorious gridiron battle that is the Detroit Lions game? Fear not, fellow fans, for I am here to guide you through the technological wilderness!
Here's the Lowdown (the Not-So-Lowdown, Really):
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
The Detroit Lions take the field every Sunday during the regular season, which starts in September (those pre-season jitters will have to wait a bit). And for most of those games, you'll find them tearing it up on FOX. That's right, the same channel that brought you Homer Simpson and the X-Men is now your portal to Lions glory.
Now, there are a couple of exceptions to this FOX Frenzy:
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
- The occasional primetime game: Sometimes, the Lions get the Monday Night Football or Sunday Night Football treatment. In those cases, you'll need to switch over to ESPN or NBC, respectively. But fear not, true fans will endure a night of Ryan Seacrest for a chance to see Goff sling a touchdown.
- The very rare, you-must-be-kidding-me situation: Every now and then, the NFL Gods decide to bless us with a Thursday Night Football game. For those, you'll need to tune in to the NFL Network.
Basically, if it's Sunday afternoon and football is on your mind, FOX is your friend.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling fancy (or your cable situation is a bit...complicated), you can also stream the game with services like NFL+ or YouTube TV.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
