On Sunday night, the #1 seed is on the line which carries the extremely valuable bye week. With the Lions having the earliest possible NFL bye this year in week five, getting a bye before the playoffs could do wonders for team health.

Detroit's mayor and interim police chief said extra security measures will be in place for the football game and auto show, but wouldn't be specific.

Security is at the top of everyone's mind ahead of Sunday's primetime showdown between the NFC North powerhouse Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, in light of this week's terrorist attacks in New Orleans and in Las Vegas.

The Sugar Bowl was postponed after the attack in New Orleans on Wednesday, and is going ahead Thursday with heightened security measures.
