The Lions will take on the Steelers in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season. The game comes with just three weeks left in the regular season, with both teams needing a win for playoff positioning.
The Lions come into the game after a Week 15 loss to the Rams. Star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown did all he could with 164 yards and two touchdowns on 13 receptions, but it wasn't enough in the 41-34 loss.
The Steelers have a tough end to the season while trying to stay atop the AFC North. They are coming off a "Monday Night Football" game against the Dolphins and have the Lions, Browns and Ravens left in the regular season.
Both the Steelers and the Lions need to win this game. For the Lions, it helps keep them in the running for an at-large bid for the NFC playoff picture, while still giving them an outside shot at the NFC North. The Steelers control their own postseason destiny and need a win to retain that.
