The Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on the Detroit Lions in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL campaign, as reported by NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. The game will be contested in a primetime setting, as the two will clash at Arrowhead Stadium for Sunday Night Football.

These two teams were heavily favored to face off in this year's edition of the Super Bowl, but as we know, those favored predictions didn't come true. The Lions did win their division and made the playoffs, but they had an early exit to the young Washington Commanders.

The Chiefs are a big draw regardless of who they are playing, but with the Lions having the most recent victory over Kansas City, the Chiefs will be looking for revenge. The last time these two teams faced off came in the 2023 season, with Detroit victorious 21-20.

The rematch will be held in the same location where their last meeting was, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. With two powerhouse quarterbacks in the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and the Lions' Jared Goff, this will be one that people should mark on their calendars.

Both franchises have seemingly gotten better this offseason. Whether it be through the 2025 NFL Draft process, pro free agency, or trades, these two squads know what it takes to win. Another mastermind battle between Kansas City's head coach, Andy Reid, and Detroit's Dan Campbell surely sells tickets in itself.

The two are still near the top of their respective divisions, and with the Chiefs having extra motivation following their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, on top of losing to Detroit in their last match, Kansas City is ready for a fight.

The Lions finished with the same record that the Chiefs did, 15-2. With both teams knowing that this could be a game that gets them over the hump of the division or end all momentum originally established, this will be a must-watch game that could be a playoff matchup in the future.

The Chiefs' full schedule is set to come out later today. Be sure you follow along to catch all the breakdowns.
