NBC in major broadcasting change to Vikings-Lions Week 18 finale after elevating coverage to playoff levels

The full team of the pregame, halftime, and postgame show will be on hand in Detroit for the SNF game.

Both the Vikings and Lions enter the Sunday Night Football game with 14-2 records.

And the winner of the contest will be just the NFL’s ninth team to finish a regular season with 15 wins or more.

That means host Maria Taylor, NFL analysts Devin McCourty, Jason Garrett, Chris Simms, and NFL insider Mike Florio will appear at the stadium.

And NBC Sports will treat the game as such, bringing its whole Football Night in America studio crew to Detroit’s Ford Field to cover the game on-site.
