Lions 2022 schedule released: No primetime games

DETROIT, Mich. (WILX) - The Detroit Lions now have their schedule for the upcoming 2022 season. Here are some of the highlights:

• Week nine is their first game against the Green Bay Packers, at home in Detroit on November 6.
• In week twelve, the Buffalo Bills will come to town for Thanksgiving.
