Glover Quin has a keen awareness of the predicament the Detroit Lions face with two games left in their stretch run to a potential playoff berth.
They can control the outcome on the field with their performance, but their fate in the standings is out of their hands.
The two games left on the schedule are winnable – Sunday on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the regular-season finale against the Green Bay Packers.
If the Lions win the last two games they’ll finish with a 10-6 won-loss record that might not be good enough to make the postseason as a wild card.
