The NFL has established its schedule for Week 18, and the Detroit Lions are set to close their season against the Chicago Bears at 4:25 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 4. FOX will broadcast the contest.

The Detroit Lions have several key decisions to make, now that the 2025 season will officially end next week. General manager Brad Holmes and the front office must reshape both the offensive and defensive lines.

Al-Quadin Muhammad, who entered Saturday tied for ninth in the NFL with 11 sacks, said he has not had any dialogue with the Lions about an extension.

After soaring to the NFC’s top playoff seed last season, the Detroit Lions won’t be returning to the postseason this year, and they could end up at the bottom of the NFC North.

It was a dreadful performance from Dan Campbell's squad, with Detroit committing six turnovers – yes, six turnovers for the first time since 2015 – and averaging a measly 3.61 yards per play. It marked the Lions’ sixth-worst offensive efficiency in a game since 2010 (and their very worst efficiency in a contest since 2020).

CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones is hearing that the Detroit Lions could make a change at offensive coordinator, and he believes it's possible head coach Dan Campbell could look to the staff of a division rival for a replacement.
