The New England Patriots will return to the confines of Gillette Stadium to face their second straight game against an NFC North foe when they host the Detroit Lions and their top ranked offense. Last week, the Patriots lost in overtime at Green Bay, 27-24. Following a trip to Cleveland on Oct. 16, the Patriots will continue play against the NFC North when the Chicago Bears come to Foxborough for a Monday Night game on Oct. 24. The Patriots final contest against an NFC North team will be on Thanksgiving night when the team travels to Minnesota to face the Vikings.
The Patriots will wear throwback uniforms that are based on the ones worn from 1984-1992 and then sporadically from 1994-2012 as an alternate uniform. The Patriots will wear red jerseys with white pants and a white helmet featuring the 'Pat Patriot' logo with white facemasks. The Patriots are 9-3 in throwback uniforms. The team last wore the throwback uniform in a 29-26 overtime victory over the New York Jets on Oct. 21, 2012 at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots will wear the throwback uniforms for a second time this year when they host the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 1.
The New England Patriots will meet the Detroit Lions for the first time since losing, 26-10, in a Sunday Night Football game at Ford Field on Sept. 23, 2018 when Patriots Senior Advisor/Offensive Line coach, Matt Patricia, was the head coach of the Lions.
This week's game will be Detroit's third visit to Gillette Stadium and their first since a 34-9 Patriots victory on Nov 23, 2014. The Patriots are 2-0 against Detroit at Gillette Stadium. The Lions lost, 28-21 on Dec. 3, 2006 in their first visit to Gillette Stadium. Overall, Detroit is 2-4 on the road against New England.
