Week 18 preview: Vikings at Lions for all the (regular season) marbles

The regular season began four months ago with what very well could
be an AFC Championship Game preview, Ravens at Chiefs. It ends with
what very well could be an NFC Championship Game preview, Vikings
at Lions. The location of that possible third meeting between
division foes will be determined on Sunday night when they battle
for regular season NFC supremacy. Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen
dive deep on that game to kick off the Week 18 preview episode of
The Athletic Football Show. The guys also discuss the remaining
playoff spots up for grabs—AFC 7-seed and NFC South winner—choose
their own adventure for the NFC Wild Card round, and consider the
contrasting makeup of the playoff fields within the two
conferences. Rundown Vikings-Lions preview Remembering the first
