When do the Detroit Lions play today? NFL Week 17 game schedule
When do the Detroit Lions play today?
Short answer: they don’t!
Welcome to Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season, which began Wednesday this week with two Christmas Day games between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers and then continued with an afternoon matchup of the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. T
This is the most sprawled out week of NFL action perhaps ever, with games on Wednesday (Ravens vs. Texans, Chiefs vs. Steelers), Thursday (Bears vs. Seahawks), Saturday (Chargers vs. Patriots, Broncos vs. Bengals, Cardinals vs. Rams), Sunday and last but not least, Monday.
The Lions do not play on Sunday, playing in the last game of the week on the road against the San Francisco 49ers in a rematch of last year’s NFC championship.
Here’s a quick look at the Lions in Week 17.
Do the Lions play today?
No. The Lions do not play on Sunday, but will be in action on Monday for Monday Night Football on ABC & ESPN against the 49ers. Before the season, a lot of people circled their calendars for the Week 17 NFC championship rematch between the Lions and 49ers as one of the games of the year. While the stakes remain high, it certainly won’t be one of the biggest games of the year anymore. Pretty much everything that could go wrong for the 49ers this year has, and Kyle Shanahan’s team has already been eliminated from the playoffs but will be trying to play spoiler. The Lions have already locked up their spot in the postseason, but depending on what the Vikings do in their matchup with the Packers, the Lions could potentially lock up the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a win.

The Lions played on Monday Night Football earlier this year, beating the Seattle Seahawks, 42-29, in a shootout at Ford Field. The Lions are 7-8 on Mondays since 1999 and 2-1 under Dan Campbell.
The extra day of rest this week will be given back heading into Week 18, as the Lions prepare for a potentially huge game in the final week of the season against the Vikings.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
DETROIT (WXYZ) — Human remains were found in a furnace of an home on Detroit’s west side, the Detroit Police Department tells us.

The Detroit Police Department is investigating after a 5-year-old child was shot in the arm near a park on Tuesday.
The shooting happened at about 8:50 p.m. near the Fargo-Oaklfield Playground on the city’s west side. Police Chief Todd Bettison says the child was in front of his home riding a bike with his father supervising at the time of the shooting.
Bettison says an individual at the park fired multiple shots, striking the child. He says the boy’s father reported hearing shots and the child falling from his bike.
Bettison says the child is expected to be OK.
Bettison says the person appears to have been firing shots randomly, which he calls “problematic.” He says a person of interest is described as possibly between 15 and 16 years old and wearing a mask. He says the person is known to frequent the area.
“When you fire a weapon, what goes up must go down,” Bettison said. “To parents and everyone, know where your kids are. Juveniles should not have guns, and whether you’re an adult or a child, you should not be firing a weapon inside of the city limits.”
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield released a statement, saying in part, “By the grace of God, this young boy will recover from his injury and is on his way home from the hospital. With that said, this incident was senseless and could have had a much more tragic ending.
“Every child in Detroit deserves to feel safe riding their bike, playing outside, and simply being a child in their own neighborhood. We cannot accept a reality where our children are placed in harm’s way because someone chose to recklessly fire a gun.”
