In the words of Porky Pig, “That’s all, folks,” when it comes to the Detroit Lions’ season, as they are now officially eliminated from the postseason after dropping a Week 17 matchup to the Minnesota Vikings in stunning fashion, losing 23-10.

Here we'll try to look at and discuss the Detroit Lions most to blame for their week 17 loss to the Vikings. The Lions were defeated 23-10 by the Vikings on Christmas Day in a loss that officially knocked Detroit out of playoff contention.

In this game, Brosmer managed to avoid any turnovers, which he gets credit for. But everything else was a mess. He completed 9 of 16 passes for 51 yards and lost 48 yards on seven sacks. The three net passing yards are the fewest by a winning team in nearly two full decades.

The Detroit Lions offense was a huge disaster against the Minnesota Vikings, earning some of their worst grades of the year.

If the Lions can win out and the Green Bay Packers drop their final two games, Detroit can still sneak into the playoffs. Margins are tight, but if the Lions show up the next two weeks they can still compete for a Super Bowl. That starts with Thursday’s matchup against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium.

We already knew that quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hand) and center Ryan Kelly (concussion) were going to miss the game after suffering injuries in Minnesota's win over the Giants last Sunday, but it's now confirmed that tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) and running back Jordan Mason (ankle) will also miss the game.

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.
