A slew of bona fide NFC contenders seize the spotlight in this week's "Monday Night Football" doubleheader.

The night begins at Ford Field with the Lions welcoming the Buccaneers in a playoff rematch from two seasons ago.

Baker Mayfield received repeated "MVP" chants during another gritty Tampa Bay victory last week, and the 30-year-old is playing like a true MVP candidate. He's thrown for multiple touchdowns in five of his first six games while leading a number of stirring comebacks. 

We'll also see how Dan Campbell's squad rebounds from an underwhelming performance against the Chiefs last Sunday. Jared Goff will look to steer his offense back on track opposite Mayfield, a fellow No. 1 overall pick. 

In the second game, the Seahawks, who entered the week tied for first place in the NFC West, take on the Texans. CJ Stroud and Houston vie for their third straight win after an 0-3 start as they try to re-enter the AFC playoff picture.

The Sporting News has everything that you need to know to watch "Monday Night Football" tonight, including TV and streaming information for both games.
