The Detroit Lions enter Sunday’s game against the New York Giants coming off a loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. The Giants are coming off their worst game of the season in which Eli Manning threw 5 interceptions en route to being held scoreless by the Seattle Seahawks.
Mathematically, Detroit still has a shot at winning the NFC North, but it begins by winning on Sunday afternoon. The Giants will not make the playoffs this season and are left playing for draft position.
