The Detroit Lions have been one of the major surprises this NFL season, but in true Lions fashion, their season effectively ended in a game they didn’t even play in.
With the Lions needing a Seahawks loss to the Rams and then a win over the Packers on Sunday Night Football to make the playoffs, Lions fans were forced to put their faith in Baker Mayfield and the struggling Rams to steal a road win in Seattle. And for much of the game, the Rams were doing just enough to get that job done.
