Lions Face Steelers In A Must-win Game This Sunday

After a tough loss, the Lions are ready to tackle the Steelers. The stakes couldn’t be higher as playoff hopes flicker.

The bad news: If the playoffs were today, the Detroit Lions would not even grab a wild-card spot.

The good news: The final three games are against teams that the Detroit Lions can beat.

This Sunday, the Lions take on the 7-6 Steelers.  Although the Lions only have one more win than the Steelers, they blow them out of the water in points per game, passing, and rushing yards.  If the Lions win this game as well as their games against the struggling Vikings on Christmas Day and the Chicago Bears in week 18, they have a very good shot at a Wild Card playoff spot.
