The NFL closes out Week 15 with a “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks. This game was originally set to feature the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots, but the NFL flexed to this matchup because it will have direct ramifications on the NFC playoffs.
This game should very much be of interest to Detroit Lions fans because there is a potential playoff-clinching scenario at hand for the Lions. On Saturday, the Vikings lost to the Bengals and the Lions beat the Broncos, fulfilling two of three legs in a playoff-clinching scenario for Detroit.
