Online on NFL Game Pass

If you are an out-of-market fan, your best bet to catch the game live is by subscribing to NFL Game Pass. Unfortunately, there is no separate package just for preseason games this year, so you're required to purchase the entire full-season package. If you haven't signed up yet, you are eligible for their seven-day free trial.

Replay on NFL Network or Fox Sports Detroit

If you simply can't catch the game on Thursday night, NFL Network and Fox Sports Detroit are scheduled to show multiple replays of it.
