Could this be the day?

Detroit Lions fans have been waiting three decades—quite literally a lifetime for some of the franchise’s youngest fans—for this team to win their division. And with three games left, the Lions are tantalizingly close. All they need is one more win (or one more Vikings loss). The prize: their first NFC North crown and the first ever home playoff game at Ford Field.

But the road will not be easy. The Minnesota Vikings will be a tough out, as they are not only fighting to make an unlikely run at the division, but they’re also on the razor’s edge for a playoff berth.
