The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions are looking like two of the best teams in the NFC this season as they face each other on Monday Night Football in what could be a hugely important game

It’s the battle of the banged-up on Monday Night Football. The Bucs and Lions are both facing their fair share of injuries coming into their primetime matchup.

In the first of two "Monday Night Football" games, the Detroit Lions play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Detroit is coming off a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday night that snapped a four-game winning streak.

The kickoff rules implemented over the past two seasons have drastically changed how special teams coordinators game plan.

Here we'll try to look at and discuss the Detroit Lions most to blame for humbling loss to Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

Lions Coach Dan Campbell says he and the team have strict rules on behavior. That bad behavior won’t be tolerated. “ It’s not what we do. It’s not what we’re about ," Campbell said in reference to brawl between Brian Branch and JuJu Smith-Schuster in the Oct. 12 game.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell addressed this week's league memo warning teams that players will be called for a personal foul if an attempt to punch the ball leads to punching an opponent during a Saturday press conference.

When the Lions host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Monday Night Football, it means getting a shot at the team with the best record in football.
