Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions are preparing for the biggest game of the 2024 NFL season thus far.

Detroit (14–2) is hosting the division rival Minnesota Vikings (14–2) at Ford Field on Sunday Night Football in a clash that means everything for the postseason. If the Lions beat (or tie) the Vikings, they will secure the NFC North crown and earn the NFC's No. 1 playoff seed, claiming a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. If the Lions lose, they will be the No. 5 seed and will hit the road to visit the No. 4 seed during the wild-card round.
