Tuesday evening the Detroit Lions released their 2012 regular season schedule. The upcoming season for the Lions in which the bar will be considerably raised includes four prime time slots including Week 2 at San Francisco, Week 7 at Chicago, Week 14 at Green Bay and Week 16 vs. Falcons. Surprisingly enough this doesn’t include their annual Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Houston Texans during Week 12.
