NFL flexes Lions vs. Broncos to a prime time Saturday slot

The Lions and Broncos will face off on a Saturday night in prime time in Week 15

For months, the Lions’ Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos has had a “TBD” for the scheduled date and time. The TBD has now been determined.

In a press release, the NFL set the time for the Lions-Broncos game in Ford Field for Saturday, December 16th at 8:15 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast nationally on the NFL Network.

The matchup keeps getting more appealing by the week. Detroit is 8-3 and running away with the NFC North. The Broncos, meanwhile, have the NFL’s longest winning streak in improving from 1-5 to 6-5 and have worked their way back into the AFC playoff picture.
