Detroit Lions vs. Denver Broncos live score updates, highlights, injury news
The Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos face off in an extremely important game for both teams.
After getting some help from the Minnesota Vikings—who lost in overtime to the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday afternoon—the Lions are on the cusp of clinching their first division in 30 years. They don’t need to win this game against the Broncos, but they would be able to clinch the division next week with a win if they do come out victorious.
The Broncos were on the opposite end of that Vikings loss. A Bengals win makes their path to the postseason a little tougher, meaning this game will mean a lot to them. Denver has won six of their last seven, while the Lions have struggled to react 4-3 in their last seven contests.
However, the Lions have been outstanding in primetime games as of late, winning each of their last four. With a racuous Ford Field crowd eager for their first division title since 1993, it will be a huge home-field advantage on Saturday night.
Can the Lions use that to their advantage and inch their way closer to an NFC North title? Or will their slump continue into mid-December and raise serious questions about their legitimacy as they enter the final three weeks of the season?
