We are just 26 days away from the Detroit Lions‘ first regular season game of the 2022 season and as you have probably heard by now, each and every game on their schedule will begin at 1:00 p.m ET, with most of those games being broadcast on FOX.

Last week, FOX released their broadcasting assignments for Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season and their No. 1 team is Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, along with sideline reporters, Erin Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi.

From FOX:

Joining them from the sidelines are Erin Andrews, the first woman singularly honored with the Pat Summerall Award, and Tom Rinaldi, a 17-time Sports Emmy Award winner. Mike Pereira, former NFL Vice President of Officiating, returns as rules analyst, offering his unparalleled takes on the most pivotal calls of the week.

Burkhardt, Olsen, Andrews, Rinaldi and Pereira open Week 1 with FOX’s first edition of AMERICA’S GAME OF THE WEEK, the No. 1 show on all of television for 13 consecutive years and most-watched NFL window for the last 21 seasons, as the Minnesota Vikings host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 4:25 PM ET.

Did the Lions' preseason loss prove they need Mason Rudolph?
