Jeff Seidel: Why Detroit Lions’ win over Packers in finale is way more important than No. 1 pick

The chant erupted in Ford Field.

“Let’s go, Lions!” the fans chanted deep into the fourth quarter.

The Detroit Lions were down, 30-27, in the fourth quarter against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, and the fans were into it, wanting the win.

They weren’t screaming: “No! Let’s go for the loss and get the No.1 pick!”

Heck no. They were cheering like crazy when Jared Goff hit Amon-Ra St. Brown for 28 yards. Because St. Brown is a keeper. He has a been wonderful revelation in this season of close losses. He’s somebody you can build around.
