Show details (one item)
The Lions have a big game against the Vikings next week that will determine the NFC North title and top seed in the conference, which brings with them the first championship and home field advantage throughout the season. But before the Lions host the Vikings, they must travel west to San Francisco for a meaningless game against the 49ers. The Niners have been eliminated from the playoffs, and a win or a loss tonight will not change the Lions next week against the Vikings. But, hey, it’s the last Monday Night Football game of the year!
