The Lions, sitting at 4-1, are gearing up for a high-stakes primetime clash against the Chiefs.
After stumbling out of the gate in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, the Lions have flipped the script in spectacular fashion. Dan Campbell's crew has been firing on all cylinders, stringing together four straight wins while lighting up scoreboards at an eye-popping 40.3 points on average over the past month.
This matchup carries a bit of deja vu for both teams. The last time Kansas City and Detroit squared off under the NBC lights, it was in the 2023 NFL Kickoff Game, and the Lions stole the show with a 21-20 thriller at Arrowhead.
Now, they'll return to the scene of the upset looking to prove that victory was no fluke and that their roar still echoes loud under the bright lights.
