This week’s Monday Night Football game between the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers won’t have playoff implications for either team, whose post-season fates have already been determined. The Lions, still No. 1 in the NFC North, are already guaranteed their spot in the post-season, while the 6-9 49ers have been officially eliminated. That fact isn’t stopping Lions’ coach Dan Campbell from promising to bring everything his team has to the field on game day. “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,” Campbell told the press earlier this week.
“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.”

How to watch every NFL game this season:
Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.
Fubo TV gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, ABC, CBS and 100+ more live channels. At $80/month, the live TV streaming service is definitely a big investment for football fans. But it offers nearly every channel you’ll need to watch the NFL season, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get unlimited cloud DVR storage.
Right now you can get $30 off any Fubo tier for your first month.
