The rest of the NFL is waiting. The playoff brackets are nearly set. But there’s one more piece of business to take care of and it’s a big one.
The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are set to face off on “Sunday Night Football” in a game that has huge implications for the NFC playoffs. In short:
- The winner will earn the NFC’s top seed and get a first-round bye in the postseason.
- The loser will drop all the way down to the five seed and have to play the Rams in Los Angeles in the Wild Card round.
