DETROIT (AP) — This weekend’s game against winless Cleveland could be a boost to Detroit’s postseason hopes, but the Lions are acting wary.
The Browns have shown some positive signs on defense, and their ability to stop the run matches up with a Detroit weakness, since the Lions are ranked 29th in rushing.
With a seemingly favorable schedule the rest of the way, Detroit’s playoff chances may hinge on whether the Lions can avoid upsets against teams like Cleveland.
