The upcoming clash between the Lions and Vikings carries implications beyond just playoff seeding, as the timing of head coaching interviews is also at stake.
Coaches from the winning team will have the opportunity to interview for head coaching positions sooner than those from the losing team, creating a competitive edge.
Head coaching positions traditionally fill up shortly after the divisional round, but new rules now restrict in-person interviews until after this key playoff phase.
Only virtual interviews are permitted before the divisional round concludes, adding urgency for both teams depending on the game's outcome.
