Three Players Who Absolutely Must Come Through For The Lions To Win The NFC North

1. David Akers. There is going to be a point field goals are going to make or break the Lions. Will Akers make it, literally.

2. Matthew Stafford. Nobody thinks more of Stafford than I do, but if he doesn't play better down the stretch than he has the last month, neither will the Lions overall. It's time for him to produce and take better care of the ball.

3. Chris Houston. He's the Lions' best cornerback. He must play like it.
