The Detroit Lions take the field against the Seattle Sahawks to kick-off Week 5 of the regular NFL season on Monday, October 5 at 8:30 p.m. EST from CenturyLink Field in Washington. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Monday night football game online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Starting Week 5, Detroit snags a rather meager spot in Bleacher Report's official break-down of all 32 professional teams (power rankings), while Seattle hits the Top 10:

Lions (20): "Can the Detroit Lions avoid the season death sentence of starting 0-4? And will wide receiver Calvin Johnson finally begin to look like, well, Calvin Johnson? Check back here after Monday Night Football. "

Detroit heads into Game 4 with a dismal 0-3 winning record and falls to 4th in the NFC Northern Division.

Meanwhile...

Seahawks (6): "The Seattle Seahawks are facing a real football team for the first time since safety Kam Chancellor returned from his holdout. Will the Legion of Boom ensure life remains generally awful for Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford? Probably, so check back here afterMonday Night Football."

And with that, Seattle currently maintains 1-2 winning record and is 3rd in the NFC Western Division.

Tonight's highly-anticipated game will be broadcasted live on local sports channel ESPN.
