The Lions are the only NFL team without a primetime game this season, and coach Dan Campbell is pumped.
"We always talk about playing your way into primetime," North said Friday. "You don’t draft your way into primetime, you don’t trade your way into primetime, you play your way into primetime."
The Lions will have a chance to play their way into primetime this fall as the NFL's flexible scheduling rules allow for Sunday afternoon games to be moved to Sunday night in Weeks 5-15 and 17. Campbell noted that possibility before camp Saturday, but insisted,"I’ve got no problem" with the way the schedule turned out
"I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t even digested it that much," he said."I looked at it last week and then we were getting ready for the rookies. Just from a glance, I mean it’s, I have no arguments. I think it looks great. I didn’t think we would open with Philly. We always do those things upstairs.
