The Detroit Lions (6-2) and New England Patriots (5-4) are set to clash in a crucial Week 10 matchup at FC Bayern Munich Stadium in Munich, Germany. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 15, with FOX broadcasting the game. Joe Davis will handle play-by-play duties, Greg Olsen provides analysis, and Pam Oliver reports from the sideline.
This marks Detroit's first international trip since the 2015 NFL season. The Lions have played only two international games in franchise history: a 22-21 victory over the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium in London in 2014, followed by a 45-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at the same venue in 2015.
Detroit enters the contest seeking its fifth consecutive win and aiming to keep pace in the highly competitive NFC North. Meanwhile, the Patriots have struggled recently against NFC North opponents, dropping two of their last three such matchups. In Week 7, the Chicago Bears defeated New England 30-24, and last week the Green Bay Packers handed the Patriots a 45-27 loss, setting a franchise record for most points allowed at Gillette Stadium.
Key Analysis
The Lions' momentum and the Patriots' recent defensive woes could shape this international encounter. Detroit's ability to maintain its winning streak will be tested against a New England team eager to rebound from a embarrassing home loss. The game also holds significance for the NFL's international series, as both teams look to make their mark on foreign soil.
For Detroit fans, here's how to catch the action: tune in to FOX at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 15. For more Lions coverage, follow @TheLionsWire on X and like their Facebook page. Follow Josh on X at @JoshOnLions.
