Watch the NFL stock market: the Lions make history and the Cowboys fail in key situations
Because they won on Sunday, both the Lions from Detroit and the Miami Dolphins are now in the playoffs.
The Browns need one more win to catch up to them, but the NFC East title looks like it will go back to Philadelphia. It has been since 2004 that a team has won the same league twice.
Congratulations on being the Lions and their fans who have stuck with them through a lot. The city of Detroit has achieved its initial division win since 1993 after the Lions beat the Vikings on Sunday.
Since it’s been so long, the Lions were competing in a different division back then. This is their first win in the NFC North!
It’s an amazing feat for a brand that hasn’t had consistent success across multiple generations.
His inaugural 23 games as coach of the Lions, before the season of 2021, he went 4–19. They’ve won 19 of their last 25 games, going 19-6.
At first, they strengthened their lines and added guns to help them attack. They got Jared Goff through trade, and their offensive coordinator Ben Johnson changed the scheme to fit Goff’s skills.
This Lions team plays such its coach does, with no fear, and a lot of confidence. It all paid off with the NFC North victory and a real chance to win a playoff game at home.
Even though it took until the very end, the Miami Dolphins got a big win and made sure they would be in the playoffs on Sunday night.
