Two weeks ago, the Detroit Lions were a 1-6 team that was headed towards the first pick in the draft. They were firing coaches and trading good players, and it was all about 2023. Two weeks and two wins later and suddenly the playoff discussion has entered the chat. Here’s the thing, it’s not that crazy of an idea.
The NFC is pretty figured out at the top. The Eagles and Vikings are locks to make the playoffs at this point. Then there’s the rest of the conference that’s full of teams that nobody truly believes in like the Giants and the entire NFC South.
