The Detroit Lions are poised for a historic postseason appearance, and thanks to the beautiful chart shared created by @LionsRoyalty on X (formerly Twitter), their playoff scenarios are looking incredibly promising. The chart, which tracks the Lions’ remaining games, highlights the likelihood of Detroit locking up the No. 1 seed in the NFC, even if they stumble in a few of their final four matchups.
With green representing a win and red indicating a loss, the chart shows that the Lions’ destiny is still very much in their own hands. Even if Detroit loses just one of their remaining four games, they are still a guaranteed lock for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. This means that no matter what happens, the Lions control their own fate, and the path to home-field advantage in the playoffs is firmly in their grasp.
Lions Playoff Scenarios: One Loss Won't Derail Their No. 1 Seed
The chart clearly lays out the possible scenarios and shows that even with a single loss in these final four games, Detroit’s chances of securing the top seed remain 100%. If they lose two of the remaining games, the likelihood of still claiming the No. 1 seed is at least 41%, depending on the specific matchups, but even this scenario keeps the Lions in a strong position.
The beauty of the chart is that it presents multiple paths to the top spot, giving the Lions flexibility and control. As of now, no other team can touch them if they win just two more games, and even with a loss, they maintain a solid chance at locking up the coveted NFC top spot.
The Importance of the Final Four Games
The four games remaining on the schedule will be crucial, not just for playoff positioning, but for momentum as the Lions head into the postseason. The stakes are high, but the chart suggests that Detroit has already done enough to be in the driver’s seat for NFC supremacy.
With each game becoming increasingly important, the Lions must remain focused and consistent. However, the chart offers reassurance: even if the team falters in one or two of their remaining games, they have the cushion they need to still secure a playoff bye and, most importantly, control their playoff destiny.
Bottom Line: Detroit Lions in the Driver’s Seat
The chart paints a clear, optimistic picture for Detroit's postseason hopes. With a potential No. 1 seed within their reach, the Lions are in an enviable position. Even if they lose one or two of their final four games, they will still likely finish atop the NFC standings, setting them up for success in the playoffs.
As Detroit continues to chase history, it’s clear that they’re not just hoping for a shot at the title—they're controlling their own future. The team has never been in a stronger position to make a deep playoff run, and the chart is just the latest reminder that the Lions are indeed a force to be reckoned with this season.
