Well, it means Lions fans should be rooting for the Packers to sweep the Bears and beat them again in two weeks to bolster their playoff odds.

The Detroit Lions have a 7-5 record and are third in the NFC North, while Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears are 9-3 and on top.

The Detroit Lions (8-5) would not be in the playoffs if they started next week, but the two-time defending NFC North champions have a chance to play their way in.

The Lions face critical matchups against the Rams, Steelers, Vikings and Bears with tickets still available through multiple platforms.

The Chicago Bears enter Week 15 needing to earn a win over the dismal Cleveland Browns as they push for a playoff spot. The Bears entered Week 14 with the No.

One of the tightest division races is the NFC North, where three teams are still very much alive in the hunt for the crown. The Green Bay Packers currently sit atop the heap at 9-3-1, but the Chicago Bears (9-4) and the Detroit Lions (8-5) are right behind them.

Williams and the Lions will head to Los Angeles to face the Rams on Sunday, a crucial game that will have playoff implications. However, ahead of the game, Williams received a prestigious award for his efforts off the field.
