Well, our Detroit Lions will not be playing in the 2023 NFL Playoffs as the Seattle Seahawks just defeated the Los Angeles Rams in overtime to knock the Lions out. That being said, the Lions still have a Sunday Night Football game to play and they will have an opportunity to knock Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers out of the playoffs, which is not an awful consolation prize. With all of the other games completed, we now know where the Lions' first selection in the 2023 NFL Draft will be.
