The Detroit Lions franchise is in an unusual position as the 2024 season winds down. Next Sunday, they will face the Vikings for the NFC title (regular season) in the first game of the 13-team, 13-win season. But before that game of the season, they have San Francisco on Monday evening to meet a 49ers team that won during injury time to the finish line.
It seems like every position in San Francisco has been decimated at one point or another this season by injuries, and for Week 17, it’s the offensive line. Three starters — Aaron Banks, Spencer Burford and Colton McKivitz — are on the injury report heading into this week, with Banks and Burford out and McKivitz on limited liability.
Aside from the Lions-Vikings matchup next week, tonight’s result won’t affect the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The winner of next week’s Lions-Vikings game in Detroit will retain the NFC North and the No. 1 seed. 1 in the playoffs. Head coach Dan Campbell said the Lions “bring it all.” [they’ve] I’m in this game,” and I’m not going to rest the starters.
