Frequently asked questions
Can Detroit Lions make the playoffs?
Detroit Lions clinch with 10 more wins on their own, even if every rival wins out.
How is the magic number computed?
Assume every rival wins all remaining games; the magic number is the minimum wins that still guarantee a berth. Ties count against the team, so it can show later than official.
Does seventh in the conference mean a playoff place?
No. Division winners are seeded regardless of record, so a team with a better record can still miss out on a wild card.
