Week Sixteen: Detroit Lions (12-2) @ Chicago Bears (4-10)

[RandyMarsh]

Nice to finally get some help against the Eagles or Vikings, first time in almost 2 months that has happened.

Are the 49'ers eliminated?

[MichiganCardinal]

We are one (1) Lions win and one (1) Vikings loss away from the one (1) seed.

[RandyMarsh]

The Eagles now likely aren't an issue for the Lions since it would take us losing the last 2 games for them to pass us and if that were to happen in all likelihood we wouldn't win the division anyway so it wouldn't matter. 

[RandyMarsh]

And yes the 49ers are now officially eliminated from the playoffs. 

[Shinzaki]

Williams and Daniels are playing well right now...Daniels in particular

[MichiganCardinal]

In my mind a big difference between the Lions and Eagles is coaching. I think Sirianni is a mediocre coach at best, with a ton of talent on that roster.

I wouldn’t be shocked if the Eagles struggle to recover from this game.

Jayden Daniels is so fire...makes up for the INT.  Wow.

Not impressed. Goff made up for 5 INTs.

What a win by Washington. I'm pleasantly surprised they pulled off that big win. This greatly increases our chances of the #1 seed now.

And even if everything goes against the Lions in the standings the rest of today and next weekend, it could all be solved “simply” by beating Minnesota in the final game of the regular season.

So, the secret to winning in the NFL is to turn the ball over 5 times? Lions did it against Houston and Washington did it today against the Eagles. 😅

aargh!

Bills have their hands full with the Patriots. Already down 14-0.

Did you play it? Nice win!

[MichiganCardinal]

Putting a 15-yard taunting penalty on the PAT in a non-weather game is a waste.

[RatkoVarda]

needed 5 more yards!

Seahawks tie up the game. 17-17 in the 3rd quarter.

Bummer....he had a pass knocked away, too.

[Motown Bombers]

Goff went over 4,000 yards on the season. The Bears have not had a 4,000 yard passer in their history. At least Bears fans got to witness one today.

Geno Smith is not a good quarterback.

Birds are up 4 with 5 minutes left
