Remember when the Seattle Seahawks shocked the NFL world when they upset the reigning Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in the 2010 season? Marshawn Lynch’s ‘Beastquake’ moment sealed a famous win for Pete Carroll’s 7-9 NFC West champions against the 11-5 Saints. We’d never seen a sub .500 team win a division
But there’s a team that wants to put an end to Wild Card teams playing on the road against division champions with inferior records.
Enter the Detroit Lions, who won an epic NFC North race at 15-2 by getting past the 14-3 Minnesota Vikings, whose “reward” for such a wonderful year was playing a road game (turned neutral due to the wildfires) against the 10-7 Los Angeles Rams.
