It’s currently 1:57 a.m. and I’m still up, buzzed about the way the Detroit Lions season ended a couple of hours ago. Detroit capped off the regular season with an impressive 20-16 win in Green Bay, a victory that ended the season for both teams.
Normally I would be asleep for hours already, but it’s not every day the Lions knock off the Packers in primetime. That’s worth some happy loss of sleep. The Lions rose to the challenge of finishing with a winning record and preventing the Packers from making the postseason with the win. The 9-8 finish is Detroit’s first winning mark since the 2017 season. It also cemented a second-place finish in the NFC North, beating out the 8-9 Packers.
