This is the day of the publication of the NFL schedule, which means that the schedule for the regular season for 2022 is slowly running out. While the NFL plans to announce the schedule at 8 p.m., some games from the schedule will be distributed throughout the day, including some Detroit Lions games.
This story will be updated with time stamps when these games are revealed:
13:50: Week 12 of Thanksgiving against bills
One of the Super Bowl favorites will visit Ford Field in the annual Lions show for Thanksgiving, when quarterback Josh Allen brings Buffalo to the city, according to SB Nation’s Buffalo Rumblings.
You will remember that The Bills lost a heartbreak for extra time from Kansas City in the playoff round of the AFC Divisional last season after scoring 11-6 and winning AFC East.
Ken Dorsey, a former Miami Hurricane and NFL quarterback, has taken over as offensive coordinator since leaving Brian Daball.
The Lions lost last year to Thanksgiving 16-14 bears, losing to five on Turkey Day. The last victory came in 2016 against the Vikings.
The Lions played Thanksgiving on 1934, thanks to a 37-43-2 record, and were 2-0 against Bills on the holiday. They won in 1994 with 35-21 and in 1976 with 27-14.

13:45: Week 11 at the Giants
Another final match between the individual divisions will take place on November 20, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, according to Mark “The Moose” Malusis of PIX11 TV in New York.
The Giants finished 4-13 last season, finishing at the bottom of the NFC East, and changed their leadership, replacing coach Joe Judge and general manager Dave Gettleman. The new head coach is Dabol – who has been the coordinator of the Bills offensive from 2018-21 – and former Bills GM assistant Joe Shoen is the new Giants general.
The team added beef to both lines with two selections in the top 10 of the NFL 2022 draft, grabbing Oregon DE Kayvon Thibodeaux at number 5 and Alabama OT Evan Neal at number 7.
Daniel Jones is still a quarterback, with Saquon Barkley as a running back and former Lions winner Kenny Goladay as a successor.

11:55 a.m.: Week 17 against bears
The Lions will ring in the new year, hosting the Chicago Bears in a game on January 1, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The Lions will take part in many holiday games this season. Along with the New Year’s Eve at Ford Field, they host their annual Thanksgiving game, and week 16 of the NFL season falls on a Christmas weekend.
The NFL has already announced its game for Christmas this year, the Los Angeles Rams against the Denver Broncos, but most of the other games this weekend will be played on Christmas Eve.
Last year, lions lost twice to bears, including 16-14 on Thanksgiving.

10:33 a.m .: Week 5 at the Patriots
The Patriot Way (thankfully) has left town, but the Lions will be reminded of what they’re missing this fall when they visit former head coach Matt Patricia and the New England Patriots in early October, according to the Boston Herald.
Patricia came to Detroit from New England in 2018 and was fired after three miserable seasons. He has a prominent but mysterious role in the Patriots coaching staff, serving as a combination of offensive line coach and offensive coordinator who signs his name in contracts and may be prepared to take on Bill Belichick one day.
The Lions defeated the Patriots in 2018, but lost on their last trip to Foxboro four years earlier.

9:05 a.m .: Opener against eagles
The Detroit Lions will open the 2022 season at home against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to the Philadelphia Inquirier.
The Lions, coming out of season 3-13-1, opened their season at Ford Field for the third year in a row and for the fifth time in six seasons. They did not win their first game after beating the Arizona Cardinals, 35-23, in Week 1 of the 2017 season.
The Eagles, who are coming out of season 9-8, are one of the five playoff teams in the lions’ schedule this fall. They gave the Lions their worst loss of the season last year, 44-6, at Ford Field.
According to PackersCentral.com, the Lions will close the season in Green Bay against the Packers.
The Lions played the Packers in the last game of the regular season, five of the last six years, with a 3-2 record in those games. The Lions defeated the Packers in Week 18 last year, 37-30, when Green Bay rested at quarterback MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and most other key starters in the second half.
