This is a game SOL would definitely lose. Is SOL dead? We'll find out today.

Wow...there was a typical Lions thing. Penalty was on the Bears and they called it on the Lions.

Tickets for the Cowboys-Lions MNF game are $200 for the nosebleeds.

They’re $6 for the Cotton Bowl. #RTB

I felt like I watched the inverse of a Spartan football game where we got the calls to go our way.

I actually watched a lions game for the first time in 25 years.

Bears fans that give a shit at this point should be pissed. On that last drive that 2nd holding call was weak as shit and there easily could have been a pass interference call on that (2nd?) down pass.

Not sure why I love pointing this out each week, but Caldwell now owns a better career winning percentage than Bill Parcells and Chuck Noll.

NFL playoff projections: Packers will win the NFC North, Ravens steal AFC wild card

4. Packers (10-6), NFC North champion: Three weeks ago, Aaron Rodgers said the Packers were going to run the table over their final six games, and after what Green Bay did to Seattle on Sunday, we have no reason not to believe him. If the Packers do run the table and get to 10-6, that means they will have beaten the Lions in Week 17, which means they'll have swept Detroit on the season to earn the head-to-head tiebreaker. For the 9-4 Lions to fall to 10-6, and lose the tiebreaker, that means they'd have to go 1-2 against a rough closing stretch that includes games on the road against the Giants and Cowboys, followed by a home game against Green Bay. To make things worse, Matthew Stafford is playing with an injured finger on his throwing hand. The Lions might not win a game the rest of the season.

If it makes Lions fans feel any better, the computer loves them. The number crunchers at SportsLine give Detroit a 75 percent chance of winning the division. The Packers' chances are listed at just 22 percent.

Packers' remaining schedule: At Chicago (3-10), Minnesota (7-6), at Detroit (9-4)

Just missed

Lions (9-7): It hurts us to leave the plucky Lions out of the playoffs, but the fact of the matter is that they're going to be an underdog in each of their final three games this season. That means they're going to have to pull off at least one upset to get to 10 wins. This week in New York feels like their best chance for that win. It's not looking promising though: The Lions are 0-2 in outdoor games this season and they'll be outside on Sunday. As for the their other two games, they haven't won in Dallas since 2010, and they've lost three of their past four to the Packers. If the Lions do get to 10-6, they currently have a commanding edge in tiebreakers with almost every team and would likely get a wild-card berth at the worst.

The bottom line here: Being a Lions fan is terrifying.

Caldwell is 27-18 in 45 games with the Lions so far. Wayne in his first three full seasons went 25-23. At worst, if the Lions tank the next three games J.C. is 27-21, a mere two game better than Wayne. At best, five games better.

I don't really have a point here. Caldwell still has 41 wins to go catch Wayne on the all-time Lions list.

Sorry, but I'll never be able to do that.  Scott Mitchell put an end to it.

Fun little tool from 538 - basically shows the Lions have to go 1-2 or they're out.
