The Detroit Lions can only get the No. 1 seed or the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs now -- here's why and how they can get each.

Here's what playoff seed the Detroit Lions would get in every possible remaining scenario where they finish the regular season 4-1 or 3-2.

The chances of the Detroit Lions hosting Matthew Stafford in the first round of the playoffs are pretty high, but Thursday night’s game will have a major impact on whether it actually happens.

With three weeks left in the regular season, the Detroit Lions are still alive for the No. 1 seed, but they could also miss the playoffs entirely.
