Earlier this offseason, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell announced the team’s intentions to host the New York Giants for joint practices prior to each team’s 2023 preseason opener.

Many were surprised when the NFL announced the Detroit Lions would be the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 opponent for the opening game of the 2023 NFL regular season.
