The Detroit Lions rebounded emphatically on Saturday night with a decisive win over the Denver Broncos. Combined with the Minnesota Vikings’ loss to the Cincinnati Bengals earlier in the day, the Lions are now just a single win away from clinching the division—something they haven’t done in 30 years.
Let’s take a closer look at the NFC North and the entire conference to see where the Lions stand and just how close they are to clinching both a postseason berth and their first-ever NFC North championship.
NFC North
- Lions: 10-4
- Vikings: 7-7
