Here’s something I never thought I would say in my entire life. I think Detroit Lions fans are a little spoiled with draft picks.

The Detroit Lions are on the road again in Week 14, this time traveling to Illinois to take on division rival Chicago Bears.

With a win over the New Orleans Saints, the Detroit Lions are 9-3 and that much closer to clinching a postseason berth and maybe—just maybe—their first division title in over 30 years.
