Football is back!

Football is back! Tonight kicks off the 2025-26 preseason with the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. The Detroit Lions are "hosting” the Los Angeles Chargers. The starters from both teams aren't expected to play, so we won't get to see a Justin Herbert vs Jared Goff matchup. This is the first game the Lions are playing since losing to the Washington Commanders in the playoffs earlier this year.
