The more the Detroit Lions win, the more they become one of the top few storylines in the NFL.
That was the case Monday morning after their thrilling 20-17 win Sunday over the New York Jets in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The Lions (7-7) have roared back with three straight wins and have won six of seven to climb firmly into the NFC playoff race. They have a 41% chance to make the postseason, according to fivethirtyeight.com, and are favored over Washington (35%) and Seattle (30%) to grab one of the final two spots.
