The NFL Week 4 slate of Sunday games will conclude with a Sunday Night Football matchup between the Detroit Lions (2-1) on the road against the Carolina Panthers (1-2).
The Panthers lead the all-time series between these teams, 8-4, and the home team has won their last four meetings. They last met in October 2023, when the Lions won in Detroit, 42-24.
There are more than a few former Eagles suiting up for these two teams. For the Panthers, RB AJ Dillon, WR John Metchie III, LB Jaelan Phillips, QB Kenny Pickett, and WR Ainias Smith. And for the Lions, SAF Jalen Mills and LB Devin White — CB Avonte Maddox suffered a season-ending injury two weeks ago.
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game.
