We've reached Week 15 which means we've entered the final month of the NFL regular season.
Where do Detroit, Minnesota, Green Bay and Chicago stand in the division and the NFC playoff picture heading into the final four-game stretch? Let's take a look:
DETROIT
Record: 12-1
Current playoff seed: No. 1
Wins: Los Angeles Rams (26-20), Arizona (20-13), Seattle (42-29), Dallas (47-9), Minnesota (31-29), Tennessee (52-14), Green Bay (24-14), Houston (26-23), Jacksonville (52-6), Indianapolis (24-6), Chicago (23-20), Green Bay (34-31)
Loss: Tampa Bay (20-16)
Remaining opponents: vs. Buffalo (10-3), at Chicago (4-9), at San Francisco (6-7), vs. Minnesota (11-2)
Remaining opponent record: 31-21
Twentyman: The Lions control their own destiny heading into the last month of the season, which is an envious position to be in. A Week 15 matchup vs. Buffalo and Week 18 contest vs. Minnesota could end up being huge when it's all said and done and the teams line up for the playoffs.
The Lions have the No. 1 scoring offense in football and will lean on that unit down the stretch, much like they did against Green Bay last Thursday, as injured players start to trickle back into the lineup over the course of the next month. The Lions are the top team in the NFC, but Philadelphia and Minnesota refuse to give them any breathing room in the chase for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
