The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers play Thursday night and the Hall of Fame induction ceremony is Saturday.

W e finally had football back last night, and it was definitely one of... the games of all time. The 2025 preseason finally kicked off with the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers playing in the Hall of Fame game. That’s right, we got the famed QB duel of Trey Lance vs. Kyle Allen. We used to pray for times like this.

Football is back. While NFL training camps are just gaining steam as many teams transition to fully padded action, two of the league's 32 clubs will hit the field for an actual game this week: It's the Detroit Lions versus the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, the official opener for this year's preseason slate.
