Monday Night Football: Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers; how to watch, Live streaming and more

This week's Monday Night Football game features the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers. While the postseason fates of both teams have already been determined, there's still plenty of excitement surrounding the match. The Lions, currently leading the NFC North, have secured their spot in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the 49ers, with a 6-9 record, have been officially eliminated from postseason contention. Despite these circumstances, Lions head coach Dan Campbell is determined to give it his all in this game.

Dan Campbell's Commitment to the Game

Although the game holds no playoff implications, Campbell made it clear that his team is bringing everything they’ve got to the field. Addressing the media earlier this week, he said, "I’ll make this easy for everybody that way all the critics can jump out and start attacking, but that way you don’t have to debate them anymore. We’re bringing everything we got to this game and we are playing, I don’t care what it looks like and where it’s at and who’s this, who’s that. We’re going out to play and win this game, out on the West Coast. So there you go."
