They would jump Tampa for the division. As of right now, Lions hold the tiebreaker with Carolina but since they both play each other, that would settle that.
Last year the Eagles started 2-5. They went on a run to finish with 9 wins and make the playoffs. they then had multiple 1st round picks. They are now Super Bowl contenders. The Lions are following the same trajectory.
The Lions have been good at breaking teams. They beat the 10-1 Cardinals and they have never been the same since. They beat the 7-2 Giants and they are free falling. Are the Vikings next?
