Watching Football all day Sunday, I about jumped out of my chair when reading the graphics on the television. It read, “Lions in the playoff hunt.” Even after a Thanksgiving turkey Loss, I could not believe my ears and eyes.
The Detroit Lions saw their win streak snap like a wishbone after they fell to the Buffalo Bills, 28-25, in Week 12. Now at 4-7, the Lions are in second place in the NFC North. In the next few weeks, the Lions still have the Jaguars, Vikings, Jets, Panthers, Bears, and Packers. Side note, isn’t it fun to watch the Packers fall apart? It’s not the sign of the apocalypse but we still have a chance and stranger things have happened to this Lions team this year. Not saying let’s start making a parade route just yet, but I have a gut feeling this Lions team is not going to quit. A lot can happen in 6 games.
At the beginning of the year, if you told me that the Lions have a chance of making the playoffs, I may have taken that bet. And with the Lions undoubtedly playing with confidence now—and the easiest schedule in the NFL’s next 6 games—there’s reason to believe Detroit could shock the world in the final weeks of the season.
Michigan to Host 2027 Men's Basketball Final Four
It’s official: The 2027 men’s basketball Final Four will take place at Ford Field in Detroit.
The NCAA made the announcement on Tuesday (Nov. 22). They also announced where the Final Four will take place for the next several years.
“We were really impressed with how the presenters from Detroit and North Texas rebounded from the disappointment of not being awarded a Final Four in the previous cycle and put their best foot forward during this entire process,” Chris Reynolds, athletics director at Bradley and the chair of the committee, said. “These communities should be proud of the leadership displayed by everyone involved with making these bids and ultimately earning the privilege to host an event of this magnitude. Both will be great locations at which to play the Final Four.”
He added, “We are excited to bring the NCAA’s premier championship to Las Vegas, a city that for a number of years has hosted numerous championships from several member conferences. The feedback from leagues, the fans of their teams and the media covering the events staged there has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are confident we’ll get the same reviews when the Men’s Final Four is played at Allegiant Stadium.”
