DETROIT (AP) The Detroit Lions could enjoy the rest of their weekend Cheap Robert Griffin III Jersey , knowing their playoff hopes were still very much intact after a victory over Chicago on Saturday.
On Sunday, however, the scores from around the league gave the Lions little reason for excitement.
Victories by Carolina and New Orleans (10-4) left the Lions two games behind those teams with two to play. Detroit (8-6) is also a half-game behind Atlanta. The Lions lost earlier this season to the Panthers, Saints and Falcons, and Detroit has to beat out at least one of those NFC South teams if it’s going to make the playoffs as a wild card.

”You can’t look back,” receiver Golden Tate said after the win over Chicago. ”We just got to go out and get the next one, control what we can control.”
Detroit’s schedule down the stretch has been manageable, and the Lions took advantage Saturday in their 20-10 victory over Chicago. Detroit is at Cincinnati (5-9) next weekend before hosting Green Bay to end the regular season.
The Lions did pull even with Seattle (8-6) on Sunday when the Seahawks were routed 42-7 by the Rams, but even after that game, Detroit had only a 21 percent chance to make the postseason Cheap Jaleel Scott Jersey , according to fivethirtyeight.com. If the Lions win their final two games, their chance of making it would be around 50 percent.
As much as the Lions try to keep their focus on their remaining games, it’s hard not to ponder what might have been.
”We did it to ourselves though,” tight end Eric Ebron said. ”We’ve got to fend for ourselves. That’s kind of how it th the punches. So, right now we’re just rolling with the punches and know what we’ve got to do.”
