The 2024 NFL season wraps up with a Sunday Night Football matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions. The winner will improve to 15-2 and claim the number one seed in the NFC playoffs and the NFC North title. The loser will become the first 14-win wild-card team in NFL history. Will the Lions be crowned as the back-to-back NFC North Champions for the first time in their franchise history? Or will the Vikings plunge a dagger into their hearts?

The Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears will clash for the second time this season at 1 p.m. Both teams enter today's game coming off losses; however, the Bears only scored 12 points in their loss to the Packers, while the Lions scored 42 points in their loss to the Bills. With a depleted defense, the Lions will lean on their league-leading scoring offense to carry them to victory. The Bears are looking to avoid extending their losing streak to 9 games.

The Detroit Lions lost for only the second time during the 2024 season, falling to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills 48-42. Over their 11-game winning streak, the Lions had established themselves as one of the best teams in the NFL. Sunday's loss was particularly tough, as it felt like the first time this season that the Lions were not the more physical team. Carlton Davis III, Alim McNeill, David Montgomery, and Khalil Dorsey left the game with significant injuries.
