The last time the top two teams in the NFC North played in a Week 14 game and neither wore green and yellow was 2018. That was also the last time the Green Bay Packers missed the playoffs.
The division seems to be going through a shift in the balance of power, and that's reflected in Sunday's showdown at Ford Field (1 p.m., ET, FOX), where the upstart Detroit Lions (5-7) host the division-leading Minnesota Vikings (10-2). The Vikings can wrap up their first division title since 2017, but these aren't the same old Lions.
