Detroit Lions

Earlier this week, an unusual debate surfaced among Lions fans. 

Ahead of the Los Angeles Rams' contest against the Seattle Seahawks, supporters debated whether or not to cheer for the team that traded for former Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford. 

Some felt as if it would be more important to secure a high draft pick, as the Lions are likely to have more playoff success next season. 

If the Rams end up winning, it would actually cost the Lions in the upcoming draft, but now it is known it would not cost general manger Brad Holmes and Co. that much.
