It’s been a tough stretch for the Detroit Lions: The team last made the playoffs in 2016 and has finished last in the NFC North in each of the last four seasons. Ahead of the 2021 season, the Lions were part of a blockbuster trade that sent Matthew Stafford to Los Angeles and saw Jared Goff take over in Detroit. The season ended with Stafford and the Rams winning the Super Bowl. Dan Campbell will hope for continued improvement in his second season as Detroit’s head coach, and now that the full 18-week 2022 NFL schedule has been released, keep reading to see the Lions’ full schedule, including dates, times, opponents, primetime games and more.
