The NFL gave fans some shocking games during Week 14.
While the week wrapped up on Monday night, there were plenty of splendid games before fans saw the last game of Week 14.
However, out of all the games during the week, only two NFL teams stand out as having surprising wins.
1. Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions came into their game against the Minnesota Vikings needing a miracle to stay in the playoff race.
With their playoff chances down to 7%, their win against the Vikings pushes them into a 21% chance of making the playoffs.
In addition to dispatching the fraudulent Vikings, the Lions got some help today. With Giants and Seahawks losing, Lions’ playoff chances rose from 7% to 21%. !

However, these chances don’t include how the Lions now hold a tiebreaker over two of the current Wild Card teams.
If either of those teams have the same record as the Lions, the Lions will make the playoffs.
This makes their victory over the Vikings a surprising treat for the people of Detroit.
2. Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams went into their Thursday night game during Week 14 with no hope of winning.
They had none of their star players in the game, leaving everything in the hands of Baker Mayfield.
Mayfield, who the team got only 48 hours before the game started, gave his new team a surprising win.
After being down 13 points late in the fourth quarter, the veteran quarterback put together a surprising clinic.
Despite having little time to learn everything, he ran a flawless hurry-up offense.
When everyone thought the Rams were out, Mayfield brought them back to life.
Doing this with no practice with his new teams makes the Rams victory a surprise for the ages.
