There was a stretch in the 00's where a Detroit team was in the championship almost every year.
2002: Red Wings
2003: None
2004: Pistons
2005: Pistons
2006: Tigers
2007: None
2008: Red Wings
2009: Red Wings
The last Detroit team to even make the playoffs was the currently 2-27 Pistons.
By beating the Cowboys and Vikings, both teams the Eagles have played, the Lions would overtake the Eagles on record in common games. Until then, they are tied on record in common games so it goes to strength of victory.
They would win the tiebreaker if the Lions win out but as of today if the Eagles win they would hold the tiebreaker due to strength of victory. I just need a reason to watch this Broncos game.
This team came into this season with hype and high expectations and they basically went wire to wire. There never really was a point in this season where the Lions weren't in total command of the division.
Looks like if the Eagles win, they would hold the tiebreaker on strength of victory. They are tied in conference record and common games. We want to root for a Broncos win tonight.
Remember, Reynolds originally signed with the Titans over the Lions and ended up getting waived. He's only been successful in this league with Goff as his QB.
Made a quick trip to Meijer and they already have the NFC North Champion shirts out. There were about three left when I walked in and none left when I walked out.
