Thankfully the Detroit Lions held on against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16 and won the division, else Saturday’s controversial defeat to the Dallas Cowboys would have felt even more painful. Instead, the biggest injustice now comes down to playoff seeding, as the Lions look destined for the No. 3 seed in the NFC.
Regardless of if Detroit does get the No. 2 seed and a second home game, that Divisional Round matchup is expected to be against the winner of the NFC East. If the Cowboys win on Sunday, they will take the division title; if they lose and the Philadelphia Eagles win, it is theirs.
