Lions' 2025 schedule release video pays homage to Detroit
The Detroit Lions' in-house media team released their 2025 schedule in a video posted to social media on Wednesday.
The video featured drone shots of several Detroit landmarks, such as Ford Field and the Spirit of Detroit. Each shot was accompanied by a date and matchup for the upcoming year.
The video makeup represents a stark contrast in content strategy compared to the 2024 schedule release, which featured "Detroiters" and I Think You Should Leave" stars Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson. The trend for most teams around the league for the last few years, including this one, was to release their schedules accompanied by skits, celebrity appearances, or other creative means.
Perhaps this video by the Lions represents an all-business attitude headed into what will feel like a Super Bowl-or-bust type of season. In any case, it pays tribute to the city that backs this team so passionately.
Here is the full schedule released by the Lions on Wednesday:
Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 7 at Packers — 4:25 p.m ET (CBS)Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 14 vs. Bears — 1 p.m. ET (FOX)Week 3: Monday, Sept. 22 at Ravens — 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC)Week 4: Sunday, Sept. 28 vs. Browns — 1 p.m ET (FOX)Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 5 at Bengals — 4:25 p.m ET (FOX)Week 6: Sunday, Oct. 12 at Chiefs — 8:25 p.m. ET (NBC)Week 7: Monday, Oct. 20 vs. Buccaneers — 7 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC)Week 8: BYEWeek 9: Sunday, Nov. 2 vs. Vikings — 1 p.m ET (FOX)Week 10: Sunday, Nov. 9 at Commander — 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX)Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 16 at Eagles — 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 23 vs. Giants — 1 p.m. ET (FOX)Week 13: Thursday, Nov. 27 vs. Packers — 1 p.m. ET (FOX) — ThanksgivingWeek 14: Thursday, Dec. 4 vs. Cowboys — 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime)Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 14 at Rams — 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX)Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 21 vs. Steelers — 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS)Week 17: Thursday, Dec. 25 at Vikings — 4:30 p.m. ET (Netflix)Week 18: TBD at Bears

Kyle Allen stands out, earns big praise from Dan Campbell after preseason loss to Dolphins
After another very strong performance in the Detroit Lions' preseason loss to the visiting Miami Dolphins, Kyle Allen has all but wrapped up the No. 2 quarterback gig behind Pro Bowl starter Jared Goff. Anyone who watched the game or was fortunate enough to be in Ford Field for Saturday afternoon's exhibition matchup could see how much better Allen controls the game and moves the ball than Hendon Hooker. That includes Lions head coach Dan Campbell. In his postgame remarks to reporters, Campbell acknowledged that Allen is winning the battle over Hooker. 'Yeah, I mean, he's playing better, he's playing better,' Campbell said.' So I would say that right now, if you're saying—if you had to go in with the (backup QB) two right now, 'Who would you trust more?' Yeah, I would trust Kyle more because he's proven more after these two games." Allen's accuracy, decision-making and composure behind an offensive line comprised of depth players that aren't reliable in pass protection stand out to Campbell. "This is his second week in a row you, you know, in a competitive setting here that he's moved the football for us and made critical throws at critical times," Campbell continued. "I thought the two-minute drill at the end was awesome, right before half. I mean, that was -- he's got really good command of the offense, he communicates very clearly, he doesn't get frazzled, he doesn't worry about anything. If he does something that didn't (go) quite right or he makes a mistake, like, he doesn't get frazzled. He's onto the next play, which all of us appreciate that. So, he's done a good job, I do have faith in him." Allen finished the game against the Dolphins by completing 14-of-17 for 124 yards and two touchdowns, shaking off some early Lions penalty issues that dogged the start. Hooker, by comparison, went 6-for-13 for 61 yards and threw a game-ending interception in the Miami red zone. It was the second week in a row Allen was the more effective, more efficient signal caller.

However, manager Ruben Amorim has been working his players hard in pre-season and has brought in a brand new front line in Benjamin Sesko, Bryan and Matheus Cunha. That should guarantee goals but there are still plenty of question marks over the midfield, defence and goalkeeper. After another second-place finish in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta has addressed the issues in the squad and hopes to launch a legitimate title challenge. Martín Zubimendi will help to dictate play in midfield and Noni Madueke offers pace and skill on the wing. But it is the arrival of Viktor Gyökeres that is exciting the fans the most, as it seems the Gunners have finally found a clinical centre forward. As for the early team news, United are expected to be without Noussair Mazraoui, Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez, while only Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard are expected to be unfit for the visitors.

Whose house? Rams and Chargers fans debate which team is the 'alphas' of L.A.
Tangled shades of blue flooded the SoFi Stadium concourse. Powder blue jerseys brushed past royal blue horns in burger lines. Bolt-painted faces mingled with fans in throwback Rams gold. 'Whose house?' blared the stadium announcer. 'Rams House!' much of the crowd replied. Though in pockets of powder blue, the response came with a shrug, or with nothing at all. That question — whose team truly owns the Los Angeles pro football market — lingers nearly a decade after the Rams and the Chargers settled into the city's football landscape. The Rams, who won a Super Bowl title in 2022, sport a polish that no argument over fan bases can scrub away. Meanwhile, the Chargers' growing base insists this is just as much their town. Read more: Rams mum on whether Matthew Stafford worked out: Takeaways from preseason win During the Rams' 23-22 victory Saturday, the score felt secondary to the fans staking out territory. Jerry Quinones, 59, is a four-year Chargers season ticket holder. A retired first responder, he rarely misses a home game. But even from his usual seat in section 330, he acknowledged the nuance between the teams. 'Rams got more of a family base,' Quinones said. 'I wish the Chargers [would] have it, but they don't. They got cheerleaders, we don't.' Three levels below, on the field-level patio behind the end zone, Rams fan Gill Marquez, 25, yanked proudly at his Britain Covey jersey and repeated, 'We run L.A.' 'It means a lot to be a Rams fan,' Marquez said. 'I feel it deep down in my soul. We brought a championship to L.A. and that made a great point that we're the real team here.' Not every Rams fan put it quite so forcefully. Bob Gerard said he moved to L.A. from Chicago and hitched onto the Rams when they returned in 2016. The 58-year-old, who donned a Puka Nacua jersey, joked that he's fine letting the Chargers crash at SoFi — so long as the arrangement isn't mistaken. 'It's actually the Rams' house,' Gerard said, 'we just kind of Airbnb it out to [the Chargers] every other weekend.'' Chase Hay, outfitted in a palm-patterned Hawaiian shirt splashed with Rams logos, cut a looser figure while chatting with Chargers and Rams fans at the field level bar. For Hay, 36, the Rams are a family tradition more than a rivalry — a team he stuck with because of his grandfather, and one he believes can share the city without losing its roots. Read more: With Chargers back in San Diego, players hope to win back their traditional fan base 'Being NFC and AFC, there's a lot of room to coexist with both of us here — until we're playing each other,' said Hay, a marketing professional. 'But I don't see the Chargers as a threat.' Eric Robles, 22, said his answer to 'Whose house?' comes from two hours south. The San Diego native, wearing a Justin Herbert jersey, stood as Rams fans cracked jokes around him, his lifelong allegiance rooted in the Chargers' past — and Herbert, who he said is the team's future. Herbert, the Chargers' star quarterback, is a resounding reason for Chargers fans to trust in the trajectory of their club. Read more: Quentin Johnston carted off after big hit: Takeaways from Chargers' preseason loss Ed Kim had a powder-blue flag wrapped around his shoulders, the Chargers' lightning bolt stretching across his back. 'We're the greatest organization in Los Angeles right now,' he said. 'The Rams are the Clippers of Los Angeles — they're second fiddle to us. Because we have the greatest quarterback in Justin Herbert. So basically, we're the alphas.' If Kim brought conviction, Angel Herrera brought theater: he was dressed in a gleaming blue-and-gold luchador mask, a flowing Chargers cape and a thick chain of metallic beads in Chargers colors. A heavy WWE championship belt hung over his No. 97 jersey. By halftime, he had posed for close to 30 photos with young Chargers fans. 'Honest truth, L.A. is more of a Rams town — only because they recently won,' Herrera said. 'It's gonna be a long route before more Chargers fans come around, but it's gonna happen. We got Herbert, so it's not gonna be that long.' As fans streamed out of the stadium, the debate continued. Some might point to Super Bowl banners and shout, 'Rams House!' Others might shake their heads, trusting San Diego roots and Herbert's promise. For now, it's a house divided, but one with room for all. Read more: Rams aren't just trying to win over L.A. They strive to be 'the world's team' Get the best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond from our newsletter The Sports Report.
