It hasn't been a pretty stretch for the Detroit Lions over the last few weeks. Losing three of five, Detroit has dropped all the way out of a playoff spot.
It's hard to believe, but if the postseason started today, the Lions wouldn't be there. Thankfully, there's plenty of time left, and Lions fans should be far from panicking.
In fact, one might argue that the Lions are going to be just fine; more than "just fine," in fact. As it stands, the Lions still have a better chance of making the playoffs than the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears.
