Okay, let me walk you through how I got the Detroit Lions 2024 schedule sorted out this morning.

So, the first thing I did was realize, hey, football season is getting closer, I need to know when the Lions are actually playing. My brain just kind of flipped that switch, you know? Needed to plan some weekends, figure out which games I absolutely couldn’t miss.
I grabbed my laptop, flipped it open. Didn’t feel like squinting at my phone for this. Went straight to my usual web browser, the one I always use. Clicked into the search bar.
Typed in something simple, probably like “detroit lions 2024 schedule”. Didn’t need anything fancy. Hit enter and waited for the magic to happen.
A bunch of results popped up, like always. Saw the usual suspects – news sites, sports blogs, the official league site stuff. I tend to trust the official sources more, less clutter usually. So I looked for something that looked like it came straight from the NFL or the Lions themselves.
Found a link that seemed legit, clicked on that one. It loaded up pretty quick. And there it was, the whole schedule laid out.
My Process Looking Through the Schedule
Alright, now I had the list in front of me. I started scrolling down, week by week.
- Week 1: Checked who they open against. Always important to see how they kick things off.
- Bye Week: Scanned for that week off. Good to know when they get a breather.
- Key Matchups: My eyes definitely looked for the division games – Packers, Vikings, Bears. Those are always intense.
- Thanksgiving Day Game: This is a big one for the Lions, right? Made sure I saw who they were playing on Thanksgiving. It’s tradition!
- Prime Time Games: Looked for any Sunday Night, Monday Night, or Thursday Night games besides Thanksgiving. Those are fun to watch under the lights.
I wasn’t taking super detailed notes or anything, just mentally clocking the big games, the tough stretches, and when that Thanksgiving matchup was happening. It’s more about getting a feel for the season’s flow.
Basically, I just went from wanting to know the schedule, to searching it up online, picking a reliable result, and then scanning through the dates and opponents to get the info I needed. Pretty straightforward stuff, really. Now I have a much better idea of what the fall looks like for Lions football. Felt good to get it checked off my mental list. Ready for the season now!
