The stage is set for the biggest regular season game in NFL history as the Detroit Lions take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Jan. 5. And we want to prepare you for sideline celebrity sightings.

If not, the Steelers could reclaim the divisional flag by vanquishing the Bengals on Saturday night in Pittsburgh, though surging Cincinnati is still fighting for its own slim playoff chances.

In a 31-29 victory over Minnesota in October, Lions QB Jared Goff completed 10 of 11 pass attempts for 164 yards and 2 TDs while under pressure.

Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase leads the league in receptions (117), receiving yards (1,612), and receiving touchdowns (16). He can become the fifth receiver to win a triple crown, joining Jerry Rice, Sterling Sharpe, Steve Smith Sr., and Cooper Kupp.

Darnold signed a one-year deal worth $10 million to join the Vikings ahead of this season. Last week, Spotrac projected his worth at $35.4 million annually over a new four-year deal.
