KANSAS CITY, Mo. – More than two years ago, Detroit came to Kansas City and upset the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs in the traditional Thursday night NFL opener. The Chiefs (2-3) will be looking to avenge that loss when the Lions return to Arrowhead Stadium in another NBC game.

Detroit has won four straight games, the NFL’s longest active winning streak. What’s more, since losing the 2023 NFC championship game in San Francisco, the Lions have won 10 of their last 11 road games.
