Week 11 has been kind to the Detroit Lions. While they didn’t get the help they wanted from the Los Angeles Rams, who were humbled by the Vikings this week, they got help in just about every other game. According to our Week 11 rooting guide, four of Sunday’s five relevant games went the Lions’ way. As a result, the Lions are just barely on the outside of the playoff picture.
(Note: This was before the Cowboys lost to the Eagles on Sunday night.
