Detroit Lions’ 2023 Opponents Are Set – Here’s the Full List

I’m still buzzing off Sunday’s (Jan. 8) incredible win. The Detroit Lions took out the Green Bay Packers in what was a history-making game. Even Aaron Rodgers seemed to show respect for the Lions, hugging players at the end of the game and wishing us well.
Now, we’re looking ahead to 2023. Going into next season, the Lions will be considered one of the biggest teams to beat. Pinch me. Am I dreaming? Seriously, though, we earned it.
The Lions have released their list of 2023 opponents. Of course, the Lions (9-8) were eliminated from the playoffs before they even started their game against the Packers, since Seattle beat the Rams, 19-16.
Read on for the full list of the Lions’ 2023 opponents. The NFL schedule will come out this spring. Reach out to me on Facebook with your thoughts here.
