Sunday Night Football is headed to Motown for a huge NFC clash to close out the regular season.

The Detroit Lions will welcome the Minnesota Vikings to town for a primetime matchup that will decide both the 2024 NFC North champion and the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.

When the foes met earlier in Week 7, the Lions squeezed out a tight two-point victory, handing the Vikings one of their two losses so far this season.

With a Lions win in Week 18, Detroit would clinch its second division title in two years. Meanwhile, Minnesota looks for its second in three campaigns. The loser will take the NFC’s fifth seed and be forced to go on the road for the wild-card round.

The matchup will also be a historic one — it will mark the first time in NFL history that two teams with 13 or more wins will meet in a regular season contest.

Here’s everything to know for the Lions-Vikings game and how to watch the action on NBC and Peacock.
