1. A highly-anticipated indoor dog park is set to open in Comstock Park on Monday.
The Pack is a "first of its kind" in Michigan that provides a space for dogs and people year-round. They'll also offer daycare services and food and drink options for owners.
Dogs will need to be up to date on vaccinations, and those over one-years-old must be neutered or spayed. Additionally, dogs will go through a play profile before their visit.
While humans are allowed in there right now, there is a limited capacity and safety precautions in place for COVID.

3. It was a lackluster finish to an even dimmer season for the Detroit Lions. The Minnesota Vikings beat them after a fourth-quarter penalty, but there was a questionable call late in the game that went against Detroit.
In the fourth quarter, Lions safety Tracy Walker sacked Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins on 4th and Goal but was called for roughing the passer.
The penalty allowed Minnesota into the endzone a couple of plays later and they would go on to win 37-35.
With the loss, the Lions finish the year at 5-11.
