Week 18 will conclude with the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings on “Sunday Night Football,” but while you wait, here are the Sunday afternoon games Lions fans should be paying attention to.
For the Lions, things are pretty straightforward. Beat the Vikings and they win the NFC North, secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC, will host each of their playoff games leading up to the Super Bowl, and will get a bye week during the Wild Card round. Lose to the Vikings, and the Lions drop to the No. 5 seed.
