If that AFC clash has the feeling of a playoff game, you might understand why in a moment.
Kansas City enters Week 12 on the back of a loss to the Denver Broncos, a defeat that dropped the Chiefs to 5-5 on the season, and four games behind the Broncos in the win column. Not only are the Chiefs now third in the division — behind both the Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers — but if the playoffs began today, Kansas City would be on the outside looking in.

There has been a statistical anomaly for the Detroit Lions’ offense for the past two years that almost seems inexplicable. So far this season, they are the only team that has not drawn a defensive pass interference penalty from the opponents. The league average is 5.7 pass interference penalties drawn. And this doesn’t appear to be a one-year outlier, because last year the Lions drew just one pass interference penalty, while the next-lowest team drew five.
With Florida and Tennessee set to do battle tomorrow in The Swamp as well as the revelation that this rivalry will no longer be an annual one for the foreseeable future, I thought it would be fun to look back on some of the best moments and games these two programs had to offer us over the years.

Aside from maybe getting married, having a kid, winning the lottery, watching football, getting two packs of Skittles out of a vending machine when you were only buying one, having your team win a championship, and puppies, I believe the answer is a definitive, no.
