One more week to go in the NFL regular season, and the NFC North has one team in the playoffs, two teams still hoping to get in … and the Lions.
First of all, the NFC North champion Green Bay Packers.They destroyed Tennessee Sunday, 55-7, in a quest to secure a first-round by in the playoffs. Very impressive.
The Bears, meanwhile, clobbered the Arizona Cardinals, 28-13 to stay alive in the playoff hunt. A win next week against the Lions — and a Vikings loss to the Packers — and Chicago will be a Wild Card.
The Lions, who lost to Atlanta Saturday night, 31-18, are now 4-11 — and can spoil the Bears season with a win at home.
