The Detroit Lions are riding high on their win over the Minnesota Vikings, and as they gear up for the playoffs, they have some news. The post Detroit Lions Make Major Announcement Ahead of Playoffs appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Detroit Lions have been the feel-good story of the NFL this season. After decades of failing to get over the hump, this year saw the Lions win the NFC North for the second consecutive year and secure the number one seed in the NFC for the first time in franchise history.

Lions fans are irked with me. I mean irked, as in mildly annoyed, as in might not want to buy me an ice cream sundae, or let me merge into a busy line of traffic. I don’t think they hate me. Detroit football fans don’t seethe like that.

After losing the first regular-season game in league history pitting teams with a combined 28 victories, the Vikings (14-3) hit the road for wild-card weekend, visiting the NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams (10-7) on Monday night as the most accomplished fifth seed in NFL history.

The NFL playoffs are upon us, which means Super Bowl LIX is just a few weeks away. Fourteen teams remain alive after they battled for months to make the playoffs and are set to embark on a month-long sprint to try and earn a berth in New Orleans and hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
