Arrr, matey! Word be floatin' on the briny deep that the NFL scallywags be ponderin' a change in their playoff shenanigans! Could it be that the top dogs won’t be holdin' court at home? Blimey, what a swashbucklin’ twist in the tale!

Ahoy mateys! Gather ‘round and lend me yer ears, fer I be spillin’ the beans ‘bout the Minnesota Vikings! They be sittin’ pretty with the second-best record in the NFC, but alas, their playoff quest be takin’ ‘em on the high seas to face the Los Angeles Rams in Arizona, not in their home port. Why? Because the fearsome Detroit Lions, with a mighty 15-2 record, claimed the NFC North crown after givin’ the Vikes a right thrashin’ in Week 18!

Now, these NFL waters be stormy, as the Lions be baskin’ in a bye week while the Vikings prepare to brave the wilds of the playoffs. In past years, we’ve seen even scallywags with seven wins hostin’ wild-card games, and it looks like there be rumblings of changes afoot in the playoff format! CBS be whisperin’ tales of givin’ the top four teams home games, rather than just handin’ ‘em to division winners. Aye, if that be true, the Lions and Vikings would be hostin’ their own shindigs!

But fear not, me hearties! The owners be less keen on changin’ the rules than a cat be on swimmin’. Amon-Ra St. Brown, a savvy Lions receiver, be sayin’ it’s a tad loony fer a 14-win crew to sail the road. With the last format change bein’ in 2020, the seas o’ the NFL be ever choppy and full of surprises!
