Come hang out and chat during the first half of Lions vs. 49ers on “Monday Night Football.”
When the schedule came out, the Detroit Lions ’ “Monday Night Football” showdown with the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17 seemed like it would be one of the biggest games of the season. And even earlier this week, it looked like it could be a monumental game for the Lions, with an opportunity to clinch the NFC’s top seed.
Alas, things did not turn out that way. San Francisco’s 2024 season was essentially over weeks ago, and they head into this matchup at just 6-9 on the season—currently last place in the NFC West. And because the Green Bay Packers are an embarrassment and an overrated team, the Minnesota Vikings have forced a Week 18 game with the Lions that will decide both the NFC North and the one seed in the playoffs.
So that means the Lions’ chance at redemption for last year’s NFC Championship Game is… well, that and only that. There is nothing else on the line for either team, and that’s a pretty big bummer for what should have been a marquee game.
Still, this Lions team is incredibly fun to watch, so why would we waste an opportunity to do so? Can the defense continue to get better? Will Dan Campbell reverse course at all and opt to pull starters at any point in the game? Can the Lions notch their first road win against the 49ers since 1975?
