Lions Week 12 Rooting Guide

Who the Lions are rooting for in Week 12.

The Detroit Lions currently hold a 2.5-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings in their quest to win the NFC North. 

Detroit has found themselves as the No. 2 seed in the NFC, as the Eagles continued their winning ways, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football to take their record to 9-1. 

At 7-2, Detroit is seeking to maintain their solid playoff position, as they are nearly certain to be among the seven teams to qualify for the postseason from the NFC. 

“Well, I think if anything we’ve found other ways to win. We’ve – and so finding ways to win always helps you win when you get into games like that again if it comes to that. So, that’s it," Dan Campbell told reporters, when asked about steps the team has taken since the bye week to ensure they are playing their best in December.

On both sides of the football, the team still has room to grow, giving supporters confidence, as the team has been able to win seven of their first nine games despite not playing their best football. 

"I mean certainly, we’re not playing the best all the way across the board, but there again, there’s – you can’t put a price on finding a way to win in tough games when things don’t go your way," Campbell said. "So, we keep doing what we do, keep preaching what we preach, keep working on the little things and it will all come together.”
