When The Detroit Lions Are Playing In Primetime This Season

As the NFL heads into Week 7, the season has seen one of the most curious in recent times. The Baltimore Ravens are 1-5, the same record as the Cleveland Browns. The Colts are 5-1, their best start since Andrew Luck was quarterback. The Jacksonville Jaguars have already matched their win total from last season.

The unpredictability this season has presented has felt refreshing, making every game feel like anyone could win. But is it consistent? The Detroit Lions' high-scoring offense and dominant defense have led them to a solid 4-2 start.

The Lions' rise to a Super Bowl-contending team has led to the team having more prime-time games, the last game on Sunday nights, Monday Night Football, or Thursday nights. The Chiefs (7) and the Cowboys (6) have the most prime-time games, but the Lions are tied for third with five games.
