The Detroit Lions cannot think of anything other than winning out for the rest of this season. With the way their offense is running as of late, that's totally doable. However, injuries in two key areas that are typically successful for Detroit - in their secondary and on their offensive line - threaten to hold them back from a postseason berth or a Super Bowl push.
That's exactly how Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon feels, which is a part of the nightmare scenario he can see unfolding for the Lions within the NFC North.
"A mix of continued road struggles—especially with trips to the Rams, Vikings and Bears—and more late-season big-game faltering from Jared Goff would likely push the Lions into full-blown crisis mode," wrote Gagnon.
