Things have changed dramatically for the Lions and Vikings since last season, when they squared off in Week 18 with identical 14-2 records for the top seed in the NFC.

Playing on Christmas Day, the Lions fell 23-10 at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings in what was an extremely underwhelming performance. Battered with injuries and grappling with inconsistency throughout the season, the Lions were officially eliminated from postseason contention in Thursday's game.

Following its loss at Minnesota, Jared Goff and Dan Campbell were tabbed as two of USA TODAY Sports' Christmas Day NFL "losers."

Amy Trask joins Chris Onorato and CBS Sports HQ to react to DK Metcalf's two-game suspension after an altercation with a Lions fan, as well as what might come next from Pittsburgh's perspective.

It was a dreadful performance from Dan Campbell's squad, with Detroit committing six turnovers – yes, six turnovers for the first time since 2015 – and averaging a measly 3.61 yards per play. It marked the Lions’ sixth-worst offensive efficiency in a game since 2010 (and their very worst efficiency in a contest since 2020).

"I think we all need to take a nice, good, long look in the mirror after this,” Dan Skipper said after the Lions' loss to the Vikings.

With their playoff lives on the line, the Detroit Lions produced an absolute dud, turning the ball over six times, forcing zero turnovers and falling to the Minnesota Vikings 23-10. That makes it a Merry Christmas for the Green Bay Packers, who clinch a playoff berth with Detroit's loss.
