The Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers will go head to head for Monday Night Football this week, but tight end George Kittle is kicking things off with nothing but love, at least as it relates to Lions coach Dan Campbell.

Green Bay could earn the #5 seed if they win out — beating the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears down the stretch — and if the Vikings also lose to the Detroit Lions in week 18.

If the Vikings defeat the Packers on Sunday, then the NFC North will be decided in Week 18 regardless of the outcome of the Lions' game. The Lions have put their sole focus on defeating the 49ers in what is a rematch of last year's NFC Championship game.
