The Detroit Lions can still make the NFL playoffs in 2021
Somewhere, Pro Sports Extra CEO and editor Trevor Uren probably just spit out his cold beverage reading that headline.
But yes, the Detroit Lions, at 1-10-1, with the worst record in the NFL and holding the number one pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, can still make the playoffs.
How? Okay.
In a nutshell, every team in the NFC would have to roll over for the Lions, so they can get the seventh seed at 6-10-1.
Anyone have the guts to make this bet? If so, please tag us so we can see it unfold.
