True, but its a shame they have to watch them play the Lions.

At least they don't have to watch the Browns. Could you imagine a team losing to them and embarrassing themselves?

Hoyer is no joke

Ok so the lions have a must win this week

If we lose this--we show we're not that ready to compete in the playoffs--which I'm not ok with to be honest

i agree this game with the cowboys is going to be HUGE, we cant lose this

this. I mean, if we lose this week and GB / Bears win we are still only a game out.

Going to the game tomorrow though. Hoping hard for a win.

LONDON UPDATE

The Lions will travel to London to face the Atlanta Falcons next season at Wembley Stadium. The NFL is expected to announce a date and time for the game in the next month.

The Lions are the road team and team president Tom Lewand said the organization wouldn’t have agreed to play in the UK if it had meant giving up a home game at Ford Field.

"It doesn’t give up a home game, which is important to us," he said. "I think our fans deserve every home game that we can have at Ford Field, but this gives us an opportunity to take some of our fans on the road and make some new fans and do so on an international stage. It’s an exciting opportunity."

Lewand said there has been talks about one of the games being an afternoon game in London, which means it would be a morning game around 9 a.m. on the East Coast of the United States, but those are just talks at this point.

He also confirmed the team would have its bye week following the matchup.

I didn't like the idea of it, but seeing that it won't take a home game away and the bye will follow makes it better.
