How to watch Detroit Lions vs. Indianapolis Colts: Kickoff time, TV channel, online streaming

The final preseason game is not always the most entertaining for the fans, but it is often the most important one for the teams. It will be the final call for the Detroit Lions bubble on Friday night as the roster cuts are due on Tuesday.

Head coach Dan Campbell found this week that around 80 percent of the squad has already been determined, so that in the preseason final against the Indianapolis Colts there are still around a dozen places to be taken. Is the backup quarterback spot one of them? Will Lions get a satisfactory answer to their wide receiver problem? How much playing time will rookies get who have already occupied a squad place, such as Penei Sewell and Derrick Barnes. Will we have our annual standout in the last preseason that manages to win a roster seat out of nowhere?

Friday evening we have our answers. So, if you want to find out in real time, here’s how to watch the game. Unlike the first two preseason games, this one will not be televised nationwide. However, you can purchase a free one-week trial of the NFL Game Pass and watch the game online. You can also watch a nationwide televised rendition of the game on DVR on Sunday.
