The Detroit Lions are in their best position to make a Super Bowl in the modern era after securing their first one seed last weekend.
They beat their NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings 31-9 to secure a crucial bye week and an automatic pass to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
Dan Campbell hailed the Lions’ unbelievable achievement after they delivered an excellent season to finish with a 15-2 record.
They’re a team who have felt the effects of a brutal 17-game season, with multiple defensive starters on IR including superstar defensive end Aidan Hutchinson.
It hands the Lions an extra week of crucial rest in their quest to get healthy for the biggest game of the season.
The team will probably find out who their opponents will be after Monday’s wildcard game between the Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams unless the Green Bay Packers can stun the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
