The Detroit Lions open up their home schedule Saturday night, as they welcome the Miami Dolphins to Ford Field for Week 2 (but Detroit’s third game) of the 2025 NFL preseason. Back at the classic 1 p.m. ET timeslot, the Lions face off against the Dolphins after a pair of joint practices helped each team get their starters ready for the beginning of the regular season.
While the game may not have the same intrigue as a regular season game or even the joint practices from earlier in the week, there
are still many storylines to follow. For the Lions, the backup quarterback job remains unsettled. Saturday’s game is likely to be huge for both Hendon Hooker and Kyle Allen, as they each make their case to serve behind Jared Goff on gameday. Elsewhere, the Lions are still looking to sort through their depth at wide receiver, offensive line, defensive line, cornerback, and safety. Additionally, they’re likely looking to find some improvement on special teams, where they’ve struggled early in the preseason. With the dynamic kickoff certain to be more impactful in 2025, improvement in that area is critical.
