Things were frustrating at Ford Field as the Detroit Lions fell to 7-5 after losing to the Green Bay Packers. They are now 7-5, and in serious danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. With a critical game against the Packers, the Lions failed to get the job done and endured a season sweep at the hands of the Packers on Thanksgiving Day.
Detroit still has -118 odds to make the playoffs , according to FanDuel. But the loss to the Packers severely damaged their chances of winning the NFC North. Their best chances now likely reside in the NFC Wild Card. With another game against the Chicago Bears still on the docket, there is still hope. Yet, that does not negate the fact that this was a devastating defeat, and the Lions have hurt their chances.
