Lions eliminated from playoff contention; Packers clinch a playoff berth

Tough swing in the NFC North: the Lions are officially out, and the Packers have officially locked up a playoff spot. Detroit’s loss to Minnesota on Christmas is what slammed the door shut — and it ended up punching Green Bay’s ticket at the same time. #NFL #Lions #Packers #NFCNorth #Playoffs #NFLPlayoffPicture

Penei Sewell criticizes Lions having to play both Thanksgiving and Christmas

Lions RT Penei Sewell didn’t sugarcoat it when asked about Detroit playing on Christmas on the road: “I’m not happy… we already have Thanksgiving… not fun, but it is what it is.” And honestly, it’s hard to blame him. Detroit already carries the league’s biggest holiday obligation every year, and now the NFL is stacking another marquee day on top—this time away from home. Do you like the NFL turning Christmas into a full slate, or is this where “more games” starts feeling like too much? #NFL #DetroitLions #PeneiSewell #Lions #ChristmasDay #NFLSchedule #LionsVikings

NFL suspends DK Metcalf two games for confronting a fan in Detroit

Per Tom Pelissero, the NFL has suspended Steelers WR DK Metcalf for two games without pay after he physically confronted a Lions fan during Sunday’s win in Detroit. According to reporting, the incident happened near the tunnel area following on-field trash talk, and league officials reviewed video before issuing the discipline. The suspension is immediate, meaning Metcalf will miss the Steelers’ next two games. It’s a tough blow for Pittsburgh’s offense — and a reminder that, fair or not, players are always going to lose these situations when fans are involved. #NFL #Steelers #DKMetcalf #NFLDiscipline #Lions #NFLNews #NFLDiscussion

Coach Curley praised the team’s toughness, saying they kept their cool and stuck to their game plan even when things got rough. With another game less than 24 hours away, the Lions are building momentum and eyeing a return to the NCAA Tournament.

Lions shake up lineup vs Steelers: Eguakun gets his shot

Big changes are coming for the Lions as they gear up for a crucial game against the Steelers. With Kerby Joseph sidelined for the season, the team is finally giving Kingsley Eguakun—who dominated at center for Florida—a real shot at the position. Fans have been waiting to see if Eguakun can solidify the middle of the line, especially with pressure mounting on the left side. Plus, Christian Mahogany is back, and Giovanni Ricci gets another chance at tight end. Do you think these moves will be enough to spark a playoff push? #Sports #Football #Lions

Lions can exploit Steelers’ run defense Sunday

Detroit’s ground game could be in for a big day against Pittsburgh. The Steelers’ run defense has been up and down—one week they’re shutting down Miami, the next they’re giving up 200+ yards to Buffalo and Baltimore. With key Steelers defenders possibly out, the Lions have a real shot to bounce back from last week’s struggles. If Detroit attacks the edges, Jahmyr Gibbs’ speed could be the difference-maker. A strong run game opens up the pass and lets the Lions control the clock. Think Detroit can capitalize and put up big numbers? #Sports #Football #Lions

Campbell's guy bolts for Iowa State OC gig

Just when we thought we dodged the bullet with Sheppard staying put, Iowa State swoops in and poaches Tyler Roehl right from under our noses! This stings because Campbell clearly saw this guy as future OC material - someone who could potentially replace Morton down the line. Instead of developing our own offensive mastermind, we're watching him walk away for a college promotion. Sure, Seth Ryan stepping up could be solid, but losing coaches Campbell handpicked always hurts the culture we've built. At least Roehl's staying through our playoff run. Think this coaching exodus trend will hurt our momentum heading into January? #Sports #Football #Lions

The NFC Is Pure Chaos: Bears Fall From #1 to #7, Lions at 8–5 Aren’t Even In

Nothing in the NFC is settled. Absolutely nothing. The Chicago Bears went into the week as the #1 seed in the NFC. After losing to the Packers… they instantly dropped all the way to #7. That’s how tight the conference is right now. And somehow, the 8–5 Detroit Lions — a record that would be comfortably in the postseason most years — aren’t even in the playoff picture at the moment. Every loss flips the bracket. Every win launches a team 3–4 spots up. The entire conference is basically one giant traffic jam. With a few weeks left, this playoff race is going to get messy. Expect dramatic shuffling all the way to Week 18. Good luck predicting the NFC. Nobody can. #NFL #NFC #Bears #Lions #Packers #PlayoffRace #NFLStandings #FootballTalk
