First off, itโs absolutely true that if the Lions donโt win on Sunday night their road to the Super Bowl undoubtedly gets tougher. Having to go on the road in the regular season is tough on its own, trying to win on the road in the playoffs is on an entirely different level.
On Saturday morningโs โFirst Things Firstโ, noted Lion hater Nick Wright gave his take on tomorrow nightโs game going as far as to say that if the Lions lose to the Vikings then heโs picking against them in the Wild Card round the following weekend.
Whatโs funny about Nickโs take here isnโt the fact that heโs taken just about every opportunity to dump on the Lions at every chance heโs gotten this season but we still donโt know who the Lions would face if they were to drop Sunday nightโs game against Minnesota. They could go on the road to face the Rams or down south to take on the Buccanneers with each team posing a different set of challenges for Detroit. For any reasonable person to make this proclamation without even knowing the opponent while also considering the Lions went undefeated on the road this past season is equally as asinine.
