CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones is hearing that the Detroit Lions could make a change at offensive coordinator, and he believes it's possible head coach Dan Campbell could look to the staff of a division rival for a replacement.

It was a dreadful performance from Dan Campbell's squad, with Detroit committing six turnovers – yes, six turnovers for the first time since 2015 – and averaging a measly 3.61 yards per play. It marked the Lions’ sixth-worst offensive efficiency in a game since 2010 (and their very worst efficiency in a contest since 2020).

Can the Lions still make the playoffs? Yes, but what does Detroit need to happen as Christmas Day vs. the Minnesota Vikings arrives?

Not only does the loss on Thursday keep the Lions out of the playoffs, it also puts Detroit in last place in the NFC North. The Vikings, who swept the season series against Detroit, overtakes the Lions as the third place team with one week left.

What pick do the Detroit Lions have in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? Here's an update with what we know and how many picks they have.

After soaring to the NFC’s top playoff seed last season, the Detroit Lions won't be returning to the postseason this year, and they could end up at the bottom of the NFC North. This was not the expected outcome for a team that won 15 games last season and started the year as a Super Bowl favorite.

The Detroit Lions were officially eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17 with their 23-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day.
