Like the Detroit Lions having a shot at the NFL playoffs.
If Atlanta drops its fourth straight today (to MIN), Lions will be *two* games out of a playoff spot. #OnlyTheLions can torture us this way.

Normally, any conversation of a 1-7 team earning a postseason invite would be incredibly foolish, but these last three weeks have changed the timbre of that conversation. Slightly.
It isn't so much the high-pitched squealing of an infant. Three wins—including Thanksgiving's 45-14 romp over the Philadelphia Eagles—have added some much-needed bass, bringing about a musical melody that has the makings of a hit if a few dozen things go Motown's way.
