The Lions may have lost four key players to season-ending injuries against the Bills.
Nearly unbeatable for more than three months, the Detroit Lions are a wounded beast that will have to manuever its way through a downpour of injuries in order to secure the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.
Anzalone might not be back until the playoffs and Barnes has been on injured reserve with a knee injury since early November. Meanwhile, without Montgomery, the pressure is on Jahmyr Gibbs to be Detroit's bell cow running back. Gibbs and Montgomery have split the workload this season and the next most-used running back is Craig Reynolds, who has toted the ball just 12 times.
That could mean Detroit is forced to outscore opponents the rest of the way. They're capable of it, but the defense is likely going to have a hard time on the road the next two weeks against the Bears and 49ers, and then at home in Week 18 against the Vikings.
