NFL power rankings: Week 14 hump day edition

<p>Detroit lost against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, but they showed well for the most part. If Aaron Rodgers’ Hail Mary with no time left falls incomplete like it would have 99 percent of the time, we are talking about how the Lions are really playing nice football. Ultimately, results are all that matter and Detroit has fallen completely out of the playoff picture. The Lions need to find a running game in the offseason, along with a reliable offensive line and some playmakers on defense. Right now, there simply aren’t enough good players.</p> <p>It will be very interesting to see how the Lions respond for the rest of the season, because the Miracle in Motown was the type of defeat that can snatch away lesser teams’ souls.

Right now Lions fans are hoping their brief circle of quality doesn’t begin and end with the Packers.</p>. (4-8). Previous: . Detroit Lions. 23. team. 50
