Lions Ready to Roar Again as They Host Vikings After Bye Week
The Detroit Lions are back in action this Sunday, November 2, as they return from their bye week to face NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings, at Ford Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EDT, and it’s shaping up to be another exciting divisional matchup. The last time these two teams met, in Week 18 of the 2024 season, Detroit dominated with a convincing 31–9 victory.

Fans have plenty of ways to catch the action live. The game will be televised nationally on FOX, with Kevin Burkhardt calling the play-by-play, joined by analyst Tom Brady. On the sidelines, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will bring fans all the insights from field level. International viewers won’t miss out either — coverage will be available in Canada on DAZN and CTV2, while fans in Germany can tune in through DAZN and NFL Game Pass. Brazil will have the matchup aired on ESPN2 and Disney+.
For those who prefer to listen, the Lions Radio Network will provide live coverage, with Dan Miller handling play-by-play duties, alongside analysts Lomas Brown and T.J. Lang. On ESPN Radio, Steve Levy and Mike Tannenbaum will also be on the call.
