We have already taken a look at the entire AFC East and NFC East, as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals.

What on earth are we referring to?

In the latest series for NFL Spin Zone, we have already made the case for the 11 teams in the aforementioned four divisions as to why they could make the playoffs in 2015. (Don’t worry: We will get to all eight divisions and all 32 teams).

Here we explain how each club can reach the postseason IF they do this AND they do that. BUT if they fail to do something else and/or the team is derailed in some other way…well…there’s always next year.

Here we take a look at the Detroit Lions, who have reached the playoffs twice in the past four seasons after going 11 straight years without a postseason invite.

Get the picture as to what we’re doing here? Enjoy.

That means the Detroit Lions are headed to the playoffs for a second consecutive year…
