The Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to the Motor City to take on the Detroit Lions.
This game has profound playoff implications for both organizations. The Steelers (8-6) are trying to hold their lead in the AFC North, whereas the Lions are attempting to claim that last NFC Wild Card spot.
Both teams enter this matchup with significant injuries to their defensive units. Detroit is without most of its secondary at this point, while the Steelers are dealing with an accident involving their star pass rusher T.J. Watt.
When comparing the offenses, the edge undoubtedly goes to the Lions. It's been an overall rough season; however, Jared Goff is playing some of his best football as of late. Over the past three weeks, Goff has thrown for six touchdowns and zero interceptions.
