If the season ended today, the Detroit Lions would not be in the playoffs. Not only that but they're running out of time to flip the script and make it into the postseason, even as a wild card team.
Losing to the Steelers only further hurt Detroit's chances of reaching the playoffs for the third straight year. According to NFL NextGen Stats, the Lions have just a 6% chance of making the postseason, something that fans would not have predicted for this team at the beginning of the season.
Sadly though, that is the reality Lions fans are living in now.
