00:00 Although the Detroit Lions did not clinch the playoff spot following Monday night football
00:04 We're going to take a look at what needs to happen for them to get in here today to analyze that topic as SI Alliance
00:11 John Macron John give me the scenarios for how the Lions can clinch a playoff berth
00:15 Yeah, Cameron real interesting. The Eagles had an opportunity to go on the road and defeat the Seahawks
00:22 Much of Detroit was paying attention to that game when it was reported that Matt Patricia
00:27 Was taking over the defensive play calling duties for the Eagles. It was a hard-fought contest
00:33 but in the end Seattle had the opportunity late to secure a
00:37 come from behind victory and took a lead late in the fourth quarter and then unfortunately the Eagles were not able to come back and
00:44 It had the Eagles won the game on Monday night football
00:48 The Lions would have clinched a playoff spot but for Detroit
00:52 it's really relatively simple win one game of their next three and they're in as
00:57 Long as the Lions don't lose out
00:59 There's a 99% opportunity that they're gonna be in the postseason and it's real real simple cam if they win
01:05 Against the Vikings on the road this Sunday. Not only do they secure a playoff spot
01:10 but they also clinch the division something that they have not accomplished since really three decades since the
01:18 1993 season it's wild to think about 30 years since the Lions last won the NFC North and
01:23 I think all the goals that the Detroit Lions have set are in front of them and here's even an
01:29 Interesting situation that presented itself with the Eagles loss
01:32 if the Lions do win out when their final three games win two against the Vikings and
01:38 Defeat the Cowboys the Lions have the opportunity to be the number two seed which would potentially secure two home
01:46 Playoff games in front of the home crowd should they win the first opportunity in the playoffs?
01:50 So Cameron a lot of good things can happen this weekend
01:53 I think the Lions are trending in the right direction in terms of their style of play and now
01:58 Based on what happened in the Eagles game the Lions have a lot of goals beyond the division that they can still accomplish
