The Detroit “Lions (6-2) meet the New England Patriots (5-4)” in a pivotal Week 10 matchup overseas from FC Bayern Munich Stadium in Munich, Germany, according to Lions Wire.
It marks the first international trip for the franchise since the 2015 NFL season, per “the Lions team data profile”.
Detroit dropped that 2015 matchup against the Chiefs, 45-10, from Wembley Stadium in London, as detailed by “Chiefs Wire”.
However, Detroit won the year prior over the Atlanta Falcons, 22-21, at Wembley, according to “The Falcons Wire”.
Those contests stand as Detroit’s only two international games in franchise history, per “Yahoo Sports”.
Detroit enters the contest looking to win its fifth game in a row as the team tries to keep pace in the incredibly competitive NFC North, as noted by “Fubo”.
Meanwhile, the Patriots have dropped two of their past three games against NFC North foes, according to “Chicago Bears team data”.
The Bears beat the Patriots in Week 7, 30-24, per “Patriots Wire”.
Then, the Green Bay Packers handed New England an embarrassing 45-27 loss last week, as reported by “Green Bay Packers team data”.
The Patriots set a franchise record for points allowed at Gillette Stadium in that loss, per “USA Today Lions coverage”.
As kickoff nears, fans can catch the action on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 9:30 a.m. ET on FOX, according to “USA Today Patriots coverage”.
Joe Davis will handle play-by-play duties alongside analyst Greg Olsen and sideline reporter Pam Oliver from FC Bayern Munich Stadium, per “Fanatics retail updates”.
