Are you a Lions fan? No, I don’t blame you. They are one of the worst teams since the creation of the National Football League (589-706-34) and they don’t even have a single appearance in the Super Bowl.
But if you are a Lions fan, you will know that they are immersed in a long streak of 29 seasons without winning a division title. Since the 1970 merger, only the Browns (30 seasons) have surpassed the Lions without capturing a division pennant.
The good news for the Lions is that Christmas could leave you a beautiful gift under the tree.
The Lions (10-4) can win the NFC North this weekend with a win (or tie) against the Minnesota Vikings (7-7) in Minneapolis.
We came into this season to win the division. That was the goal and that remains our focus. If something happens between now and then that gets us a playoff spot, that’s fine. But we talked about it this morning as a team. That was the focus at the beginning of the season and it remains the focus,” said Detroit head coach Dan Campbell.
If the Lions lose, then the Vikings can still catch the Lions in a potential title game in Week 18. But before we get to that scenario, Minnesota needs to beat the Packers and the Lions lose to the Cowboys. next weekend.
According to a projection simulator, the Lions have a 90 percent chance of winning the NFC North championship. In other words, the Lions need just one more win or one more Vikings loss to take the NFC North.
The Lions have not played a postseason game since 2016, when they entered as a wild card and lost in the first round 26-6 to the Seattle Seahawks.
