Detroit Lions Must Win To Stay In Playoff Race This Season
After an embarrassing prime-time loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, every game will be a must-win for the Detroit Lions for the rest of the season.
The Detroit Lions lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 16-9 Sunday night. Losing by one touchdown to last year's Super Bowl champs, who have the 2nd-best record in the NFL this season, shouldn't feel embarrassing. However, with so many offensive and defensive weapons, this Detroit Lions team is different. Outside of a handful of amazing plays from Gibbs, the Lions could not get a single thing done on offense.
The NFC and, more specifically, the NFC North are incredibly competitive this year. If the playoffs were next week, the Detroit Lions wouldn't even make the wildcard playoffs.
After Sunday night's game, the Philadelphia Eagles are now in first place in the NFC, and the Detroit Lions are in 8th place in the NFC and in 3rd place behind the Packers and Bears in the NFC North.
When is the Detroit Lions Game this week?
The 6-4 Detroit Lions will host the 2-9 New York Giants in week 12 of the 2025/2026 NFL season, on Sunday, November 23rd, 2025. Game time: 1 PM Eastern Time.
The good news for the Detroit Lions is the complete lack of defense on the New York Giants. They rank near last place in points and yards allowed per game. Lord knows, Jared Goff needs a break from running for his life.
