DETROIT — It's almost time to show off your One Pride, Michigan! But where can you watch the Detroit Lions defend the den?

The Lions take on the Seattle Seahawks at Ford Field Monday night. 

The Seahawks have been the best on Monday night, winning an NFL-high 71.4% of their games in the prime-time slot. They're undefeated this season, but the Lions aren't far behind with a record of 2-1 so far. 

Seattle has won 30 of 42 games in the marquee matchup, including a 14-4 run since 2010.

Detroit has been below average on Monday night, going 17-20-1 with a 45.9 winning rate that ranks 21st in the league.

The Lions have also lost to the Seahawks in each of the past three seasons under Campbell and have dropped six straight games in the series, including a playoff win in the 2016 season and early last season.

But something special in the air tonight may bring the Lions a win. 

Detroit is wearing its black uniforms, featuring the color for the first time since former Lion Calvin Johnson was catching passes for the franchise in 2007.

Johnson, also known as "Megatron," is one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history. 

‌Hailing from Georgia Tech, Johnson was drafted to the Lions in the first round in 2007. He set the NFL single-season receiving yardage record with 1,964 yards in 2012, was selected to six Pro Bowl teams and chosen for three first-team All-Pro teams between 2010 and 2015. 

He will be celebrated before Monday's game by being inducted into the Pride of the Lions, which only 21 players have joined before. 

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared Monday "Megatron Day" in honor of the upcoming ceremony.
