Week 14 was a rough weekend for the Detroit Lions. They lost a divisional game to the Chicago Bears and then the Vikings got a crazy 3-0 win. Luckily Tommy Cutlets and the Giants were able to beat the Packers and do the Lions a favor. Here's what the playoff picture looks like for the Lions after Week 14:

  1. 49ers: 10-3
  2. Cowboys: 10-3
  3. Lions: 9-4
  4. Buccaneers: 6-7
  5. Eagles: 10-3
  6. Vikings: 7-6
  7. Packers: 6-7

I know that there's concern about the Vikings and Packers, but the Lions can make things happen for them if they just win games and keep the two game distance from the rest of the divsion. The Vikings have a tough road ahead of them as well. Here's there upcoming schedule. 

  • Bengals
  • Lions
  • Packers
  • Lions

The Bengals are not out of it yet. They can still make the playoffs and they're coming off two straight wins. The Lions are still a 9-4 football team too. They also have to play the Packers in a game that could help cancel out one of these teams. As for the Packers, they still have two divisional games left and they have to play the Buccaneers too. They are a playoff team right now and they're in a tight race and need the wins. Here's there schedule:

  • Buccaneers
  • Panthers
  • Vikings
  • Bears

All the Lions need to do is get some more wins and the division is there's and they can play a playoff game at home for the first time ever at Ford Field.
