The Detroit Lions were on primetime television for NBC’s final regular season installment of “Sunday Night Football” this year in front of over 23 million viewers, the most-watched season finale in six years, and pulled out a 20-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. While Detroit came up just short in their bid for the playoffs, the Lions' victory eliminated the Packers, the prophetic team of destiny who controlled their own destiny until they no longer did.
For the first time in a really, really long time, a Lions season has ended and left everyone waiting for an encore.
