The fans, players, and staff have wanted revenge against the San Francisco 49ers since the Detroit Lions lost to them in the NFC Championship game last season. Back in May when the schedule was announced, this game was circled by many, and with it being a “Monday Night Football” matchup it was primed to be a big-time game in December. Seven months after the schedule was announced, only one team is heading to the playoffs and fighting for the top seed in the conference, while the other team is using this game as a playing experience for its young players.
