The Detroit Lions are clinging to their fading playoff hopes as they prepare for a crucial Christmas Day matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. Following a disheartening 29-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Lions must win their final two games, including Thursday's contest, and hope the Green Bay Packers falter in their last two matches. Detroit's remaining schedule includes games against the Vikings and Chicago Bears, while the Packers face the Baltimore Ravens and Vikings. Lions coach Dan Campbell emphasized the importance of moving forward and focusing on the task at hand. "We've got to get the mental work done, recover, and make sure our players get the rest they need," Campbell said. "We've got a game plan ready, and they need to digest it quickly and be ready to go, emotionally, psychologically, and physically, by Thursday.
