The NFL returns to Munich this weekend as the Detroit Lions take on the New England Patriots in a Week 10 matchup at FC Bayern Munich Stadium. Because the game is being played in Germany, American fans will need to tune in earlier than usual, with kickoff set for 9:30 a.m. ET.
The contest pits two teams with contrasting momentum. New England enters the game at 5-4, trailing the 7-1 Buffalo Bills in the AFC East standings. The Patriots are coming off a lopsided 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers and will look to quarterback Drake Maye to help turn things around on foreign soil.
Detroit, meanwhile, arrives in Munich at 6-2 and on a four-game winning streak. The Lions are competing in a tightly bunched NFC North, where the Chicago Bears (7-2), Minnesota Vikings (6-2) and Green Bay Packers (6-3) are all within striking distance.
