Seahawks lead!

[Kamakzie]

WOW!

[Dan Gilmore]

Drew Lock FTW

[MichiganCardinal]

Seattle leads by 3 with 28 seconds left. Hurts has a chance.

[TP_Fan]

I really don’t like Seattle. Of all the teams outside the north they are the ones I dislike the most. 

[Dan Gilmore]

Haha

[lordstanley]

#2 seed is in play. Realize though that this pending win mag increase the chances of the Lions having to face the Hawks in the wildcard round. 

[TP_Fan]

Matt Patricia defense keeps the lions from clinching. I just don’t like it. 

[Kamakzie]

Let's clinch the playoffs and the division in Minnesota!

[TP_Fan]

Week 15 ends without clinching a playoff spot.  

[Motown Bombers]

Hurts can't win outdoors. 

[TP_Fan]

Go win the north.  Go beat Minnesota.  

[MichiganCardinal]

Yes!! Your two-seed Detroit Lions!

Who thought we'd ever be this happy to not clinch a playoff spot? Or at least me, others may draw different conclusions.

Next chance to clinch is just 3 days away. Rams host the Saints. 

[TP_Fan]

Lions control their own destiny for the 2 seed. 

[Sports_Freak]

Matt Patricia's prevent defense prevented another victory.

Considering the win streak Dallas has at home, do you favor the Lions in that game? Seriously?

Any thing that makes Patricia sad makes me happy. So I’m happy.

I mean, he's right, even if the Cowboys should be favored. The Lions do control their own destiny wrt the 2-seed.

I think the "Dallas is unbeatable at home" line is a bit overplayed. They're 7-0 in Jerry's World, yes, but that's come against the Jets, Patriots, Rams, Giants, Commanders, Seahawks, and Eagles. A combined record of 41-57. They should beat four of those teams blindfolded. Credit where it's due for the other three, but a good team against a 0.500 team should win more often than not at home. And divisional games between good teams are always expected to be competitive.

Detroit will deserve to be the underdog but I wouldn't completely write them off.

Seattle scored a lot of points on them to. That game was similar to the Lions game with Seattle except Dallas came out ahead. They also beat an Eagles team that is struggling right now.

If Detroit’s starting OL is together in Dallas, the Lions have a good shot.

[NYLion]

The Lions now control their destiny for the 2 seed. The next 2 weeks will be really tough games but it's all there for them now.

[Motown Bombers]

Currently Seattle is out of the playoffs. Beating Minnesota would actually help Seattle.
