Game Preview

A disastrous defensive outing left the Detroit Lions with no margin for error in their fight for an NFC wild-card playoff berth.

They need to defeat the Chicago Bears in their home finale on Sunday to stay in the race.

Detroit (7-8) had won six of its last seven before Carolina literally ran past the Lions on Saturday. The Panthers gashed their run defense for a franchise-record 320 yards and handed them a 37-23 road loss.
