Detroit Lions playoff picture: What's the wild-card situation?

It's not time to fret about the Detroit Lions' playoff chances -- not yet, at least.

With two games left in the regular season and their NFC North lead down to one game, the Lions are still on track to reach the postseason for the second time in three years.

The Lions (9-5) next visit the NFC-leading Dallas Cowboys for a Monday night game (8:30, ESPN), then host the Green Bay Packers (8-6) in the regular-season finale on New Year's Day at Ford Field.

Any combination of two Lions victories and/or Packers losses will clinch the Lions' first division championship since 1993.
