Is anyone going to beat the Lions in the NFC? It might be down to 2 viable contenders

We saw last season what Ford Field looks like for a Detroit Lions playoff game. It was perhaps the best atmosphere in the NFL.

Imagine what it would be like if the Lions were two home wins from a Super Bowl, as the NFC's No. 1 seed.

A fairly miraculous win at the Houston Texans last week has the Lions at 8-1 and in good shape for the top seed and a bye. The Lions have been the best team in the NFC, perhaps the NFL, and it's getting harder to figure out who might knock off Detroit in January.
