Why to watch
The bad boys of the NFL -- the two most-penalized teams in the league -- get together with each desperate for a playoff push. Will someone be ejected? What's the record for personal fouls? We could have punches thrown and handshakes gone awry. The league office will be watching.
Inside story
Suh is back from his two-game suspension, but will he be more restrained and contrite? His play has not reached the pocket-collapsing dominance of a year ago, and with Detroit's secondary regressing some, the Lions will need to attack a less-mobile Carson Palmer. Lions hopeful Kevin Smith is back to charge the run game. Still, it will be a struggle to bring the explosion back to Oakland's run game. The Raiders' yards per carry the past four games: 4.0, 2.7, 3.3, 4.0. Well short of the pace set in the first half of the season.
