Sixty-one NFL media members made picks on the Kansas City Chiefs-Detroit Lions game on “Sunday Night Football.”

The Lions continue to rely on their top linebackers to play every down, with Barnes balancing a high defensive snap count with playing double-digit snaps on special teams. Nowaske remains the fourth linebacker, with Stuard and Summers each playing big roles on special teams.

A long, frustrating night for the Detroit Lions inside Arrowhead Stadium ended with Brian Branch delivering a punch to Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, setting off a brief fistfight among players from both teams.

The Chiefs and Raiders will meet at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025. Kickoff is scheduled for noon Central. The game will be shown on CBS. In Kansas City, it will be on KCTV (Channel 5). In Wichita, it's on KWCH (Channel 12).
