With win over Raiders, Lions have realistic path to the No. 1 seed in the NFC

The Detroit Lions haven't won a division title in three decades, so it's strange to think the NFC North race might be decided for Detroit already.

Here's what's even harder to comprehend: The Lions have a very good chance of ending up as the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

Seriously. Detroit Lions and No. 1 seed. Same sentence.

These are crazy times in Detroit. The Lions thoroughly outplayed the Las Vegas Raiders, made some key mistakes that kept the game close but still cruised to a 26-14 win on Monday night.
