The Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions will play the last game of the regular season in what amounts to the regular season NFC championship. The winner will take the crown of the best division in the NFL, the NFC North, the first seed in the NFC postseason tournament, a first-round bye, and home field advantage throughout said tournament. The loser will become the fifth seed and travel for a road game in the wild card round against the fourth seed, most likely the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Game 272.
