Technically, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions are the main course of this Monday Night Football doubleheader, hence Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are in Detroit and not Seattle, but I consider it the undercard to the Seattle Seahawks vs. Houston Texans, the real main event of the evening.
Anyway, it’s 5-1 vs. 4-2 and the Lions secondary is as banged up as Tampa Bay’s receiving corps. It should still be an awesome game to watch, with Baker Mayfield playing like a legitimate MVP candidate, and the Lions boasting one of the best offenses in the NFL. We might be rooting for a Buccaneers loss if only because any chance the Seahawks have of a high seed involves winning the division and avoiding the head-to-head tiebreaker with Tampa Bay.
Tune into ABC or ESPN at 4 pm PT for this game. If you want to talk Mariners vs. Blue Jays since that’s at 5:08 pm PT on FS1 then be my guest.
