Looks like 15-2 by the Lions wins the #1 seed no matter what. - If lose to Buffalo, then beat SF Chi Minnesota, will win the division because the Vikings would top out at 14-3. Would finish ahead of Philly with a 11-1 conference record because Philly would top out at 15-2 with a 10-2 conference record. - If beat Buffalo, lose to Chicago, but beat SF and Minnesota, will win the division because the Vikings would top out at 14-3. Would finish ahead of Philly even if the Eagles win out because the conference record would be tied at 10-2 each but the Lions would win the common opponent record 5-1 to 4-2. - If beat Buffalo and Chicago, lose to SF, but beat Minnesota, will win the division because the Vikings would top out at 14-3.

Lions-Vikings head to head tied at 1-1. Division record tied at 5-1. Lions would win common opponents 12-0 to 11-1, since the Vikings lost to the Rams. So the Lions would win the division.

Correct me if I'm wrong! (but I don't think I am). FWIW, tiebreaker order is: https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures For Division 1. Head to head 2.

We might not be done with the Packers. I can definitely see GB out of the #5 or #6 seed beating the NFC South or NFC West winner and playing the #1 seed Lions in the next round. Lions should be healthier then.

Dan Miller’s call of the game-winning field goal. Bates FG Beats Packers.m4a

Windsorite, ex-Seahawk and lifelong Lions fan Luke Wilson is saying on Canadian Tv post-game that given the injury situation and plays being made by “random guys who have been there 2 weeks”, this is one of the grittiest wins he has ever seen. And that given the Lions went for it 5 times on 4th down, this is the signature Dan Campbell win. He says he can’t remember a greater regular season win by the Lions.

GB would have had the ball at their 30 with 40 seconds to go. Plenty of time for Love, even without timeouts, to gain 35 yards for a FG or even go for the endzone.

Have to go for it.

It should be a Bates 40 yd FG attempt to win it.

You need to make at least one pass here, even if it means stopping the clock hit an incompletion.

That 1 second is huge. If the Lions had instead made that 1st down coming out of the 2 minute warning, they’d be able to run the clock down to under 30 seconds before a FG attempt.

The game is in Goff’s hands. And, I hope, Jake’s leg.

You and Marissa Tomei!

I would have gone for it if easy QB sneak territory. It was a bit more than that.

Even before that 4th down start, I was going to say GB has done a better job at stopping the Lions’ run than maybe any team this season.

Laporta had to have that. Big 3rd and long now.

What a start to the 2nd half. Crowd was eerily quiet even before the interception.

3 point lead, 28 minutes still to play, no McNeil.

WIDE open.

Can’t give up tiebreaking goal to division rival with 42 seconds to go. Brutal loss

I think I’d kick it now. Edit: because I’m a coward, lol. 17-7 Lions.

Why not just another tush push on 3rd down?

Have only been watching the Lions, but the Wings are tied 1-1 with the Sens in Ottawa with 13 minutes left in regulation. DeBrincat just tied it.

10-0 Lions. Lions will figure out this Packers defense, if halftime if not sooner.

TP is at the game. He will have a talking to with Ben before the next possession.

7-0 Lions. This first Green Bay drive should tell us a lot. Opens with a sack.

Hawks fired coach Luke Richardson today.
