Historic Lions-Vikings season finale has everything at stake

Historic Lions-Vikings season finale has everything at stake

There’s only one choice for The Post’s Big Game this week: The 14-2 Vikings playing at the 14-2 Lions in a true winner-take-all scenario. 

The victor clinches the NFC North Division тιтle and secures the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the conference playoffs. The loser will be a wild-card team and will have reach to the Super Bowl playing on the road. 

“You couldn’t write a better scenario,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. 

The teams’ combined .875 winning percentage is the highest in an NFL season finale since 1977 (12-1 Broncos vs. 11-2 Cowboys, .885), according to the Elias Sports Bureau, and it’s the first regular-season game in NFL history between teams with 14 or more wins.
