ESPN's Mike Reiss shared his three keys with WBZ-TV's Dan Roche to get ready for Thursday night's game.
Here's What To Watch For from a Patriots perspective in their preseason opener.
Between signing a new contract, practicing in Michigan, and putting his house up for sale, Tom Brady has had a rather busy week. So the quarterback is going to get a night off.
For the time being, though, the Patriots' rookie class has been getting in some good work in this week's joint practice sessions with the Lions. Among those who have shined are third-round pick Chase Winovich and undrafted wideout Jakobi Meyers.

The Patriots appeared content to let Trey Flowers walk away in free agency to sign a massive contract. Typical Patriots. Typical Belichick.

Before fully moving on, it's worth looking back through the coach's film to try to figure out what exactly took place in Sunday's 26-10 loss.
If you blinked you might have missed it. But if you've paid attention to enough Tom Brady press conferences over the years, there was no way you missed this.
Sunday night's grisly loss in Detroit should have provided enough evidence that the 2018 New England Patriots have some real problems -- issues that should not be written off as being part of an "annual September slump."
Very rarely do NFL reports get confirmed on the record by the people involved.
On a night where nothing was working for the New England Patriots, Matt Patricia was able to pick up his first win as head coach of the Lions. And he was able to do it against his former boss.
If you want to get Bill Belichick's attention on game day, well, good luck.
