The Detroit Lions, once a dominant force, are now grappling with a slew of injuries that threaten their playoff aspirations. Key players like Alim McNeil, Carlton Davis, and David Montgomery are sidelined, leaving the defense in disarray.

Despite these setbacks, the Lions' offense, led by Jared Goff and emerging star Jahmyr Gibbs, remains potent. However, they may need to rely heavily on outscoring opponents as they face tough matchups ahead. The NFC North title race is heating up, with the Minnesota Vikings poised to capitalize on Detroit's struggles.
