So Detroit is now merely a game behind us in the race for the number 1 seed at 8-2. With our gauntlet ahead of us, they really put a lot of pressure on us to win as many of these games as possible. They also have quite an easy schedule ahead of them: Packers, Saints, Dallas, Bears, Vikings 2x. I think Detroit is a solid team but I’m not sure if they’ve been battle tested aside from getting the breaks beat off them against Baltimore. What are your guys’s thoughts on them and the challenge of getting the No. 1 seed in the NFC?

    They are absolutely in contention for the 1.

    In some ways, that’s why tonight’s game is super important for us - the Chiefs are a “common game” with the Lions, which would be the first tiebreaker if we end up tied. And the Lions beat the Chiefs. We may be in the odd place of hoping that Dallas beats them in like Week 17 or something when they play.

    I think they are legit, but they’re also very much NOT playoff tested, so I don’t expect them to go deep in the playoffs this season.
