No pressure, but the Detroit Lions have to win out for the remainder of the 2025 season in order to have the best shot at making the postseason.
Is that realistic? Probably not, especially with their toughest opponent on paper coming up in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford is playing like an MVP, and as Lions fans know, it's tough to shut his water off when he's got the connection he has with his receivers this year.
Still, we need to dream. The Lions winning out would ensure that they control their own destiny headed into postseason seeding, with the Chicago Bears handling the rest having lost to the Green Bay Packers in Week 14.
