The Lions could be win away from the playoffs if the Seattle Seahawks lose their game against the Los Angeles Rams Sunday afternoon. If not, the Lions will be attempting to play the role of spoiler, where they will try to keep the Green Bay Packers out of the playoffs.
The Lions haven't played a game of this importance in quite some time. The last regular-season game they played that had these kinds of stakes was Week 17 of the 2016 season — against these same Packers — for the NFC North. Of course, Green Bay went on to win that game.
