Chargers and Lions Kick Off 2025 NFL Season in Hall of Fame Game
30 Jul
Summary
- Chargers and Lions to play in 2025 Hall of Fame Game
- Both teams looking to bounce back from bitter playoff exits
- Starters expected to make only brief appearances
The 2025 NFL season is set to begin with the highly anticipated Hall of Fame Game, as the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions take the field in Canton, Ohio on Thursday, July 31.
Both teams are eager to put their bitter postseason defeats behind them and start fresh. The Chargers were stunned in the wild card round, falling 32-12 to the Houston Texans, with star quarterback Justin Herbert enduring one of his toughest outings in recent memory. Over in the NFC, the Lions were the top seed but were shockingly upset 45-31 by the Washington Commanders in the divisional round.
While fans shouldn't expect to see the big names logging major minutes, with starters likely making only brief cameos, the Hall of Fame Game marks the beginning of the long road to redemption for these two franchises. They'll be looking to set the tone for a successful 2025 campaign and make amends for their disappointing playoff exits.
