It's hard to believe a team that won six games last year are going to play on a Monday night, but the NFL must see some potential in the Lions.  After closing out last season with 4 wins, the NFL put Detroit in the spotlight, hosting the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.  This will be the first Monday game ever played in Ford field.
