Lions least likely 2016 playoff team to make postseason this year.
According to the ?Around the NFL? podcast, the Lions shouldn?t expect back-to-back playoff appearances.

NFL.com?s podcast ?Around the NFL? ranked each 2016 playoff team from 1-12 in terms of their likelihood to return to the postseason this upcoming season. They collectively ranked the Detroit Lions last, thinking they are the least likely team to make the postseason this year.
Gregg Rosenthal explained his reasoning to the group. ?The Browns are the only other team in the league that was losing in 15 of 16 games in the fourth quarter,? Rosenthal said. ?The Lions had no business in the playoffs last year.?
