The Detroit Lions and the San Fransisco 49ers will clash from San Fran on Monday Night Football.
Detroit begins this matchup with a record of 13-2. That record places the Lions in first place in the NFC. With a win next week against the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit has an opportunity to clinch the first overall seed and their second straight NFC Championship.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell is in the discussion to win NFL Coach of the Year honors. Since taking over this Lions team, Campbell has changed the culture. The Lions won the NFC North last season but were eliminated in the playoffs by the 49ers in the NFC Championship game.
Tonight's game has no impact on the standings for the Lions. There is discussion about how long the starters will play for Detroit, as they will play for the No. 1 seed against the Vikings next week no matter if they win or lose.
