The suspense of the NFL schedule release led to some eventual disappointment for Detroit Lions fans. The disdain has nothing to do with the sequence of games, however.
No, the issue is the lack of primetime games. The Lions will not be featured once in the national viewing window outside of the traditional Thanksgiving kickoff in Week 12, when the Lions host the Buffalo Bills in the only game at the 12:30 ET window.
No Thursday games. No Sunday Night or Monday Night Football dates.
