Heading into Sunday’s matchup vs. the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions, according to a New York Times playoff projection tool, had a 5% chance of qualifying for the 2020 NFL Playoffs.
But that was then and this is now and after losing to the Packers, the Lions now have a 1% chance to squeeze in.
On Monday, interim head coach Darrell Bevell spoke to the media and when it was brought up that the Lions only have a 1% chance of making the playoffs, he channeled his inner Jim Carrey.
“You’re saying there’s a chance, right?” Bevell responded.
“This is an opportunity for all of us,” Bevell continued. “Whether it’s going to be on this team, whether it’s another team, people are watching. They want to see how the Detroit Lions are going to react and if they’re just going to throw in the towel or if they’re going to keep fighting. And if I have anything to say about it, or these players do, we’re going to keep fighting. And one percent, we’ll take it. I don’t even know if that’s right, but we’ll take it.”
