Implications of Detroit's controversial Saturday night loss:
🏈If Detroit had won, it would have secured, at worst, the No. 2 seed in the NFC with another win next week.
🏈If Detroit had won last night and again in Week 18, and if SF lost one game, the Lions would have claimed the NFC’s No. 1 seed.
🏈With Detroit’s loss, it now is expected to be the No. 3 seed and would need significant help to have any chance of moving up.
🏈A potential divisional playoff game against the NFC East winner would have been in Detroit, but now is more than likely going to be an away game if it gets to that point.
