The Detroit Lions were the first team in the NFC to clinch a playoff spot after their "Thursday Night Football" win over the Green Bay Packers, and it appears wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is already looking forward.
Of course, though, the No. 1 seed in the playoffs is still in the air, possibly even the division title, as the NFC North is the only division in the league with three teams having at least nine wins (Detriot: 12, Vikings: 11 and Packers: 9).
It looks like each one could fill a playoff spot, which means we could see a divisional rivalry as late as the NFC Championship.
Amon-Ra was asked on the "St. Brown Podcast" whom he would prefer to face in the playoffs: the Packers or the Vikings.
"Well, we haven't played the Vikings a second time yet, but I'll probably say, probably the Vikings," he said. "A division team in the playoffs gets nutty. You don't know what's going to happen.

Detroit is already 2-0 against Green Bay this year and has outscored them 58-45. Their previous matchup at Ford Field came down to a game-winning field goal.
It was a similar case in Week 7 in their first game against the Vikings, where they barely escaped with the victory, winning 31-29.
Their second game against Minnesota will be in Week 18, and it has a strong chance of deciding who wins the division.
Regarding St. Brown's individual performance, he has better averages against the Vikings.
In seven games, he's compiled 56 receptions, 654 yards and 4 touchdowns.
All a tad higher than the 47 receptions, 481 yards and 3 touchdowns in eight games against the Packers.
