Barring a collapse, it seems the NFC West will have three teams in: Rams, Cardinals and 49ers. That leaves one wild-card spot for the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints or Philadelphia Eagles (or, if things really… Source link

All that was left for the Pelicans, who were out of timeouts, was to inbound… Source link

The Detroit Lions will not post the second winless season in modern franchise history. After tallying 10 losses and a tie in their first 11 games, the Lions joined the rest of the NFL in the win column on Sunday with a thrilling 29-27 upset of the Minnesota Vikings. The win marks the first for rookie head coach Dan Campbell and fends off the ignominy of becoming the first NFL franchise with two winless seasons since 1945.
