Detroit Lions - Team Notes

The Lions' unlikely NFC North title hopes were officially ended with Minnesota's win over Cincinnati on Sunday. The Lions have not won a division title since 1993. Detroit still has a 20 percent chance to make the playoffs entering the 4 p.m. games, according to fivethirtyeight.com, but almost all of those scenarios involve other games around the league falling in certain ways and the Lions beating Cincinnati and Green Bay the last two weeks of the year. Based off a few scenarios run through the ESPN Playoff Machine, the Panthers-Falcons result in Week 17 could be a massive game for whether or not Detroit reaches the postseason even if it wins out.
