How the hell are the Vikings 12-3 (about to be 12-4). Losing by 31 right now, so their point diff, at 12-4 would be -26, and that's if they hold Green Bay to the current score with 6 minutes left.
Worst 12-4 team ever.
The Lions will play their final game with a shot of making the playoffs. That's a great leap forward. I don't think they'll make it, but the fact we will be watching a meaningful game on Elvis' Birthday is astonishing considering their 1-6 start.
CORRECTION: Could play that final game with a shot. If Seattle wins vs. the Rams earlier in the day, it'll be over for the Lions and the Packers.
Playoffs or Bust next year. They'll have an easier time attracting free agents now.
