Yes. The Detroit Lions have been officially eliminated from the NFL playoffs for the 2025 season after their 23–10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17.

Quick Scoop: Lions Playoff Status

  • The Lions fell to 8–8 after losing to the Vikings on December 25, 2025, which mathematically knocked them out of postseason contention.
  • This came one year after a franchise‑best 15‑win 2024 season and back‑to‑back NFC North titles, making the miss feel especially disappointing for the team and fans.
  • With only one regular‑season game left and no remaining playoff paths, Detroit is now playing purely for pride and evaluation heading into the offseason.
