The Kansas City Chiefs' Week 6 matchup vs. the Detroit Lions could be a Super Bowl preview

The Kansas City Chiefs face a challenging 2025 NFL schedule, highlighted by a Week 6 matchup against the Detroit Lions that is being viewed as a potential preview of Super Bowl LX in Los Angeles.

Retired NFL safety Erik Coleman, speaking to Chiefs Wire, identified the Lions as strong contenders in the NFC. He praised their recent performance and talent, including their quarterback and offensive weapons, but expressed a key concern: their ability to adjust after losing both their offensive coordinator (Ben Johnson to the Chicago Bears) and defensive coordinator (Aaron Glenn to the New York Jets) to head coaching positions in the offseason. Coleman emphasized that Detroit's success hinges on maintaining their playing style under Dan Campbell despite these coordinator changes.

The Lions entered the previous season as the NFC's top seed but suffered an upset loss to the Washington Commanders in the divisional playoff round. The Chiefs will host the Lions for their Week 6 game on Sunday Night Football, seeking to avenge a loss to Detroit in the 2023 season opener at Arrowhead Stadium.
