Friday at midday is the deadline to vote for last week’s top NFL performances on NFL.com.

It’s been more than a decade since the Lions have been on Monday night football. But when’s the last time the Lions were undefeated (4-0), tied atop their division and favorites over the Chicago Bears?

Tough? We’ll give Cowboys QB Tony Romo that much. Clutch? Well, let’s not confuse tough for clutch.

Good news for the Detroit Lions: Recent history says they now have an 82 percent chance of making their first playoff appearance since 1999. The Lions, along with the Packers, are off to a 4-0 start. Since 1990, 50 of the 61 teams to win their first four games have gone on to the postseason.

Lions first-round pick DT Nick Fairley will not be active for Sunday’s home opener against the Chiefs, as he continues to rehab a foot injury.

Calvin Johnson will play for the Lions on Sunday against the Chiefs, according to source with knowledge of the situation.

The collective heart of Lions Nation might have skipped at beat at seeing Matthew Stafford limp off the field during the third quarter against the Bucs in Tampa.
