DETROIT, MI ~ The Detroit Lions‘ playoff odds took a huge hit Sunday evening at Ford Field after a 29-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Detroit‘s offense could not establish the run, only totaling 15 yards on the ground, while Pittsburgh gained 481 total yards of offense. The only way the Lions can reach the postseason is winning the final two games of the year while hoping the Green Bay Packers drop their last two. Detroit will face the Minnesota Vikings for a chance to keep the season afloat on Christmas Day.
