Not much is on the line for the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers, but that isn’t going to stop the Lions from going all out on “Monday Night Football.” The Lions have already clinched the playoffs and the 49ers have already been eliminated from postseason contention. And while there is a unlikely scenario in which Monday night’s game matters (if the Lions and Vikings tie next week), this game is mostly being played for pride.
But coach Dan Campbell isn’t the type of coach that is going to bench his players, particularly when revenge is on the line.
