The Detroit Lions’ playoff chances are little to none, but the boys in Honolulu Blue still have to suit up again on Christmas Day. They leave their families (or put them in planes) to head to Minnesota to take on the 7-8 Vikings. Detroit has dropped in nearly every power ranking, as many agree they’re […]

For the first time ever, the Detroit Lions will be featured live on streaming giant Netflix, as they take on the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day at 4:30 p.m. ET.

But after Sunday’s loss to […]

The Detroit Lions aren’t mathematically eliminated from the NFL playoff race, but they are beyond a long shot at this point.
