Guess not. Every team in the North have a winning record

That wasn't a good pass, but LaPorta would have caught that ball.

What a lousy football day this has been.

[Sanders Fan]

The Seahawks lined up for a tying field goal with about a minute left.

The Giants blocked it and returned it for a TD

The streak continues for opponent losses after playing the Lions.

Best division in football. Nothing is ever easy for the lions

[Sanders Fan]

I’d rather have a good division. It helps you go through the gauntlet before the playoffs start. If they can go 3-3 in the division, I would be OK with that.

Ha! I'd rather have an easier path to the playoffs and top seed.

I think they need to sweep somebody in the division, though

[ghandi]

Which of the 3 do you see them sweeping though? THis division is tough now. All 3 opponents play good defense. Lions might have the worst defense in the division but too early to say at this point....Also its the only division where all teams are over .500

The Lions can sweep any of the three. It's not like the Lions are a mid team themselves, ya know.

I’d say the Minnesota game in two weeks is the game they lose .
I would rather be the top dog in a bad division. Look what it did for Brady and the Patriots all those years.
The one seed is critical.

Minny also has a bye next week to study us while we battle Dallas.

I'm not concerned about the bears and packers. The vikings could be legit this year. The next 5 games will tell where the Lions are at. When you win divisions, this is what you get for a schedule. I think the Lions are up to the task.

[Cody_Russell]

Yeah, of course the NFC North is at its peak during the one era the Lions are competent. We couldn’t have the Leslie Frazier Vikings coinciding with this time period … nahhhh. Oh well. More satisfaction if the Lions repeat as division champs. Go earn it.

Cowboys could be without their 4 top edge players vs the Lions next week. Parsons, Lawrence, Kneeland, and S Williams. Gotta focus in on interior threats or blitzes. Otherwise, a matchup that the Lions should exploit.

After the 9-8 season, I was thinking the Lions were going to cruise to the division title in 23 and possibly after. But then the Vikings hired Flores which made me nervous, the Packers moved Rodgers who I thought was more of a distraction at that point, and the Bears were able to trade out of the #1 spot and pick up additional picks which led to drafting a potential franchise QB.

[Sanders Fan]

I think Mike Tomlin could squeeze water from a stone.

I've been thinking the exact same thing. This division is going to be a slugfest. Nothing comes easy for us I guess.
