Bye week Sunday watch guide for Lions fans

Bye week Sunday watch guide for Lions fans, with four straight games on Sunday to fill the void of Detroit being idle

No Detroit Lions football this Sunday? No problem. The Week 5 NFL schedule has plenty of other games for Lions fans to check out, with four straight games of interest.

Sunday’s slate features all three of Detroit’s divisional foes in action, with none playing at the same time. It starts at 9 a.m. with the Minnesota Vikings playing the New York Jets in London.

At 1 p.m., the Chicago Bears host the Carolina Panthers. After that game, the coverage switches to Los Angeles, where the Rams are hosting the Green Bay Packers.

Then on Sunday night, the Dallas Cowboys visit the Pittsburgh Steelers. Detroit plays Dallas when the Lions return from the bye in Week 6.
