Quote:While I have never experienced the Lions playing in a Super Bowl,  following the team's coverage this week has the feel of an NFL Super Bowl Week.  Many of the articles are about the team's accommodations,  practice setting,  local fan reaction,  promotional events,  local news,  and tourist spots.    This week feels different than any I've experienced as a Lions fan in an NFL regular season.    And this is from the perspective of a fan from the team that's considered the road team.   I can't even imagine what Falcons fans are seeing in the media outlets that cover their team.

 

You bring up an interesting point.

 

Have the Lions ever played in London before? I can't remember.

 

They seem to be getting the royal treatment this week because they are playing in London, and they're having a good season so far.

 

If the game was here in the states, there wouldn't be all the extra hoopla they are having, but because it's in London this week, it's more then just another NFL game in week 8.

 

It's just a different experience to host a game in London right now, then the states.
