If this match-up would have taken place five years ago, it may be the lowest rated Monday Night Football game of the season. However, this year, the team that normally would be on the recipient end of a huge blowout. But in 2011, things are different. This team is 4-0. The team, the Detroit Lions. The Lions have not had this excitement since the days Barry Sanders were running the most entertaining one yard runs, or even dancing his way 50 yards into a touchdown. Today The Lions are a new breed.Led by Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, they are one most feared teams in the league. When playing these guys, no lead is safe. In week four, they were down to the Cowboys 27-3, and it seemed that they would lose their first game of the season. However, they did not give up,and it was the Stafford-Johnson connection that would send make the Lions 4-0. This week, they take on the Chicago Bears, a division rival. With the Lions hosting their first Monday Night football game in years, this will be a very emotional game and the Lions will look to capitalize.
