The NFL doesn’t set dates or times for the final weekend of action until the Week 17 action concludes. When the Packers domination of the Vikings was near its merciful end on Sunday night, the league released the full slate for Week 18.
The Lions will host the Vikings in Ford Field at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, January 7th. With the Lions locked into the No. 3 seed, barring losses by the Cowboys and Eagles, and the Vikings in need of considerable assistance to sneak into the No. 7 seed in the NFC, their Week 18 finale isn’t deemed one of the games worthy of juicier time slots on Saturday or Sunday.
Last year, the Lions prevented the Packers from making the playoffs with a win in Green Bay in the final regular season game of the 2022 season.
