That staggering draw continues to solidify the FOX program as the leader in NFL broadcast viewership through seven weeks of the 2026-27 NFL season.
As for the Lions, their Nov. 1 clash against the NFC North division-leading Minnesota Vikings (6-0) will also air on FOX, with Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi on the call from Ford Field. However, that particular divisional showdown will not be “America’s Game Of The Week,” as FOX will not have a game designated with that title for Week 8.
Kickoff between the Lions and Vikings is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET at Ford Field.
