Five days before Christmas, Lions in town, Sunday Night Football — this is as big as the regular season gets. Notte Italiana’s already rolling when the game starts at 7:20, so grab a plate before kickoff if that’s your speed.

Once the game’s live, pizzas are $3 off and Fireball or McGillicuddy — grape, cherry or mint, take your pick — is $5.

Division rival, national audience, holiday-week energy. Get here early.
