Prime Time Showdown: Which Dark Horse Will Break the Deadlock Tonight?

Prime Time Showdown: Which Dark Horse Will Break the Deadlock Tonight?

The Lions enter tonight’s game with a 6-3 record, and should be handing some thank you cards out to the Eagles. The Eagles took down the Packers on Monday Night which gave the Lions their share of a lead in the division. It is a long way to go, but this Detroit team has to feel pretty good about being in the position they are in. I have some concerns about the Lions, though. Their losses this season have been to the Packers, Cheifs, and Vikings. The Vikings one was inexcusable as they dropped it at home and after a Bye Week. That can’t happen to a team with Super Bowl aspirations. More than anything, though, is that I’m unimpressed with their wins. They destroyed the Bears, but I’m not sure how good Chicago really is either. They beat Baltimore before the Ravens figured out that they were supposed to play defense. Their other wins were against the Browns, Bengals, Buccaneers, and Commanders. Again, their best wins were against a team that couldn’t stop anyone, a team with a second-year quarterback and the Lions knew the playbook, and at home against the Buccaneers. I’m not trying to be totally dismissive of them, because the win over Tampa is a good one, but the Lions don’t feel like a juggernaut. They feel like a pretty good team.
