This isn't the same 49ers team the Lions lined up against 11 months ago, but Detroit is still treating it like a marquee game.

The 49ers are eliminated from the playoffs. But don't tell Kittle or Samuel that, with both studs having two of their best games of the year last week.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell made his intentions clear when asked about Monday night's primetime NFC Championship Game rematch against the San Francisco 49ers—the team that ended Detroit's Super Bowl hopes last season.

The final week of the year features an eclectic group of games, including five divisional contests, five favorites of at least six points, and one matchup of rookie quarterbacks. No. 2 pick Jayden Daniels and the Commanders are favored by 3.

Santa Claus decided NFL fans have been good this year, so he's giving football lovers a stacked schedule for Christmas with games on five days in the penultimate week of the regular season. The Week 17 slate kicks off on Christmas Day with the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans playing the Baltimore Ravens in the Netflix-exclusive games.
