Follow along here for live updates as the Lions try to keep their playoff hopes alive, playing host to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Ford Field.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to escape Detroit with a win over the Lions on Sunday as an offensive pass interference negated the go-ahead touchdown.

The Detroit Lions have five players who earned Pro Bowl honors, as announced by the NFL Tuesday. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, offensive tackle Penei Sewell, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and linebacker Jack Campbell are the five players selected to represent the Lions in the Pro Bowl games this season.

Aaron Rodgers, on what it was like hearing the crowd go from cheering to groaning at the end of the game: “Hate to see it.”

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf was seen swinging a punch at a Detroit Lions fan in the crowd while on the sideline, and will likely face NFL discipline.

Pittsburgh was also able to gash the Lions in the run game. The Steelers averaged 9.7 yards per carry in the second half, and had two 45-yard touchdown runs by Jaylen Warren. It was a tough showing for coordinator Kelvin Sheppard's group.

The Lions have their work cut out for them, though. They currently have an 8-6 record and are in dire need of a win to remain in playoff contention. A loss against the Steelers will serve as a devastating blow to their postseason hopes with two games remaining in the campaign.
