The Detroit Lions are, technically, still in the running for a postseason spot. The Green Bay Packers would have to win out, the Lions would have to win out and beat the Chicago Bears in Week 18, and then maybe, they'd clinch a spot. Unfortunately for them, losing two games to the Packers seems to have sealed the deal for the team.
With this elimination, or close to it, comes some ire from fans. And, defensive lineman D.J. Reader was caught in the crossfire of that ire on social media following the Lions' disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
