Lions Host Germany Game, Protect Rivals

0:00It's March 30th. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Detroit Lions are set to host the game in Germany next season as the home team. That narrows their possible opponents to nine teams. The Bears, Packers, Vikings, Patriots, Saints, Giants, Jets, Buccaneers or Titans. Team President Rod Wood revealed they protected two key match-ups from going overseas, the Packers and Vikings, to keep that true home-field edge against. Division rivals. Fans are buzzing about avoiding a divisional clash abroad, since no such games have happened in Germany yet. Pass international showdowns there include Seahawks vs. Buccaneers in 2022. Dolphins at Chiefs and Colts at Patriots in 2020. 23. Giants facing Panthers in 2024 and Falcons at Colts coming up in 2025. Woodcast doubt on the Bears being the pick, saying he has a hard time believing that would happen.

1:00So the Lions could end up with one of the other six non-protected foes. We'll keep an eye on this as the schedule shapes up. Could be a wild international debut for Motown Football.
