Matthew Stafford leads the Detroit Lions (4-8) into the desert to take on Josh Rosen and the Arizona Cardinals (3-9) as Week 14 action continues on Sunday afternoon.

The game is scheduled to start at 4:25 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on Fox in select areas (coverage map here). If the game is on in your market and you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can still watch a live stream of the game (or DVR it) on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

FuboTV

Fox (live in all 32 NFL markets) is included in FuboTV’s main package, which includes 85 total channels and is largely tailored towards sports fans. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the FuboTV website, or on your tablet or streaming device via the FuboTV app.

If you can’t watch live, FuboTV comes with 30 hours of Cloud DVR (with the ability to upgrade to 500 hours), as well as a handy “72-Hour Lookback” feature, which will allow you to watch the game on-demand up to three days after it airs even if you forgot to record it.

Hulu With Live TV:

In addition to their extensive Netflix-like streaming library, Hulu now also offers a bundle of 50-plus live TV channels, including Fox (live in all 32 NFL markets). You can sign up for “Hulu with Live TV” right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your tablet or streaming device via the Hulu app.

If you can’t watch live, “Hulu with Live TV” also comes with 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage (with the ability to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of DVR space and the ability to fast forward through commercials).

Sling TV

Fox (live in 17 NFL markets) is included in the “Sling Blue” channel package. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Sling TV website, or on your tablet or streaming device via the Sling TV app.

Fox Sports Go

Additionally, you can watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Fox Sports Go website, or on your tablet or streaming device via the Fox Sports Go app. You’ll need to log in to a cable provider to watch this way, but if you don’t have that, you can still sign up for one of the above options and then use your FuboTV, Hulu or Sling TV credentials to sign in and watch on the Fox digital platforms.

Preview

Lions head coach Matt Patricia likes the way his defense has been hanging tough in games despite the losses. The team is in transition, and Patricia will obviously do his best to bring the Patriots Way to Detroit, but so far he’s embraced the process.

“(He’s) really been very healthy for that room and has really kind of helped that unit grow quite a bit. And some of the things that we talked about; as far as some of the improvement that we’ve seen has really been attributed to some of that stuff on the front with those guys on the D-line and the linebackers and kind of that unit working together.

“So I just think he’s been great. I think we’ve obviously got a long way to go and all that, but for a guy in that situation, it’s never easy and I think he’s done a great job.”

The Lions will once again be without standout rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) for Week 14, as he misses a second consecutive game. Second-year wideout Kenny Golladay is good to go, though, after nursing a quad injury.

Arizona’s roster has been depleted by bad drafting, and now injuries. Especially on the offensive line, as this week left tackle D.J. Humphries (knee) was placed on injured reserve.
