UPDATE: The Detroit Lions are set to clash with the New York Giants today at 1 PM ET at Ford Field in Detroit, and a victory is crucial for their playoff aspirations. Currently holding a record of 6-4, the Lions need this win to enhance their chances for a postseason berth.
This highly anticipated NFC showdown comes on the heels of a tough 16-9 loss against the first-place Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, which has driven the Lions into a precarious playoff position. The Giants, languishing at 2-9, are looking to salvage their season but will be without their starting quarterback Jaxson Dart, who is still recovering from a concussion. Backup Jameis Winston will take the helm after starting last week against the Green Bay Packers.
The Lions are facing additional challenges, including the absence of starting tight end Sam LaPorta, who recently underwent back surgery and is likely out for the remainder of the season. Furthermore, defensive stalwart Kerby Joseph is among the three starters sidelined, though they welcome back cornerback D.J. Reed.
