DETROIT — The Detroit Lions are heading back to the postseason. Now they can focus on the race for the NFC North title.
The Lions clinched their second playoff berth in the last 14 seasons when Philadelphia lost to Washington on Saturday. Detroit (10-4) plays at Chicago on Sunday.
The Lions are tied atop their division with Green Bay, and the Packers host Detroit in the final game of the regular season.
Detroit’s most recent playoff appearance came during the 2011 season, when the Lions were a wild card and lost to New Orleans 45-28 in the postseason. Detroit has not hosted a playoff game since a loss to Green Bay on Jan. 8, 1994.
