Tonight’s game is on national TV. That means you don’t need a special subscription. Just find the channel. But if you’re streaming, make sure your Wi-Fi is strong. Nothing worse than a buffering circle during a fourth-down conversion. I’ve seen friendships end over that.
If you’re at a bar, order a beer before the kickoff. The bartender gets busy when the Lions are on offense. And tip well—you’re going to need that bartender when the game gets tense. They’re basically your emotional support human.
Wait, one final reality check
Is it actually the Lions tonight? Or is it a different team in blue? I’m asking because I’ve done this before—promised a friend the Lions were playing, only to realize it was the Colts. Now I’m a liar with cold pizza. Double-check the opponent. If they’re playing the Packers, expect a heavy dose of drama. If it’s the Bears, well, you’ll probably win. Probably.
And if the game is cancelled? Don’t panic. That’s a rare NFL unicorn. But if it happens, pour one out for your evening. Then watch highlights of Megatron in his prime. That always helps.
