The highly anticipated rematch of the recent NFC Championship Game is next.
However, the circumstances are far more different than most would've expected coming into the season.
The Detroit Lions have continued to build on their success from last season, reaching a 13-2 mark with the win count setting a franchise record. Despite recent injuries creating potential doubt on a Super Bowl run, Detroit has kept winning.
For the San Francisco 49ers, the reigning NFC champions, they've been decimated with injuries since early in the season. Along with multiple blown double-digit leads that resulted in losses, the 49ers are at 6-9 with two games to go.
So, will the 49ers offer a glimpse of what they're capable of under the lights or will Jared Goff and the Lions continue to take care of business as they've done all season? Here's how to watch the Week 17 NFL "Monday Night Football" game live online or on TV:
