The Detroit Lions have done something unprecedented in franchise history: they won the NFC North.
The Lions booked their postseason ticket with a win on Sunday over the Minnesota Vikings, guaranteeing a home playoff game as the NFC North champion. While the playoffs are at the forefront of everyone’s mind, the regular season is far from over. The Lions have two remaining games: a tilt with the Dallas Cowboys and a rematch with the Vikings at Ford Field in Week 18.
These games will not affect the Lions’ standing within their division, but it could have implications on the rest of the NFL.
