The Lions on Sunday won their first division title since 1993 with a thrilling 30-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. They will be a top-3 seed in the NFC playoffs and host at least one game at Ford Field when the postseason opens in mid-January.
The Lions, who had never won the NFC North since its inception in 2002, still could climb as high as the No. 1 seed and earn homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs if San Francisco stumbles twice.
