‘Tis the season to watch the Detroit Lions make a push for the playoffs.
After escaping from New York New Jersey with a 20-17 victory over the New York Jets, the Lions are one step closer to a wild card spot. Considering they started the season 1-6, a 7-7 record as we head into the home stretch of the NFL regular season is a reversal of fortunes only the most optimistic fan could have predicted. With both the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders losing in Week 15, Detroit could find themselves holding onto a wild card spot by the time the dust settles on Week 16—as long as they get a little help from those teams losing again.
