Nine Baltimore Ravens, including two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, were selected for the Pro Bowl Games.
The NFL Wild Card games feature three days of action with two big favorites and a surprisingly close matchup on Monday Night.
The Lions still have work to do this season, but their 2025 opponents — which include nine teams that made the 2024 playoffs —have been set.
Since the Lions won the NFC North after beating the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18, that means they will face the division winners from the AFC West (Kansas City Chiefs), NFC South (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and NFC West (Los Angeles Rams).
The Ravens' first-place finish in the NFC will give John Harbaugh's team an even more demanding schedule in 2025.
On average, 28.5 million viewers watched NBC and Peacock to see the Lions beat the Vikings 31-9 and claim the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Only the 2012 regular-season finale between Washington and Dallas (30.5 million) and the 2024 season opener between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs (29.2 million) drew bigger SNF audiences.
The Baltimore Ravens are headed towards the playoffs, so they currently aren't worried about next season whatsoever. After an unusual 0-2 start to this season, Baltimore rallied back through adversity and finished with a 12-5 record.
Home games against the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburg Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers highlight the Lions' 2025 schedule. In addition to hosting NFC North rivals Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, the Lions will welcome in the Cowboys, Buccaneers (NFC South champions), Steelers, New York Giants and Cleveland Browns.
