The Detroit Lions are back in first place in the NFC North with a 6-3 record heading into Week 11 of the NFL season. After defeating the Washington Commanders 44-22 in a bounce-back road win, the Lions jump back in the driver’s seat of the NFC North following the Philadelphia Eagles' 10-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
While there’s plenty of football left to be played this season, it’s the opponent that the Lions are currently projected to play in the playoffs that is causing excitement among fans. If the season were to end today, the Lions would be playing the Chicago Bears in the NFC Wild Card Round.
