They're learning to win.
Against substandard teams. Win against the Giants on the road, and I might take a small sip of the Honolulu blue Kool Aid.
It does help when the opposing QB is an ohio state alum...
Who is going to set the NFL season rushing record for yards by a QB.
Maybe he should switch positions.
I think the book is still out on him. He does have some of the worst passing numbers in history, but the Bears have zero talent of offense.

Sorry for the delay in weighing-in during this "amazing" two-game win streak as I've been nursing the most hellacious cold in memory. These were two butt-ugly wins against division rivals who are also in the throes of their own problems. I'll take 'em.
I'll be impressed when the Lions can win consistently without the aid of poor officiating or other intangibles. I'm hoping the next two games will show the team's true mettle, win or lose.

It’s about time poor officiating helped them instead of better helping the league understand it’s own rules.

So the Bills-Browns game is moved to Detroit because on the snowstorm. And Buffalo plays the Liedowns on Thanksgiving.
Here will be your November win totals at Ford Field:
Buffalo---2
Detroit---1

I dont think I'm over exaggerating when I say this is possibly the greatest team in the history of the National Football League.

Impressive road win for the Lions for sure!
Big, big game for Hutchinson.
The Thanksgiving Day game will be a gigantic test for Detroit. If their defense performs as well as today, Detroit has a shot at another W.

The moronic Marlowe Alter at the Freep still thinks 760 carries Lions games:

I called the paper out for a similar error over a month ago. Nice to see their fact checking remains crap.

Probably the most complete all around game I've seen played by the Lions in.................YEARS.

Nice all-around team win!
I'd have taken the penalty in the first half, putting the G-men at second-and-nineteen instead of third-and-nine, but other than that, there's nothing to complain about.
Hopefully our dings and nicks can heal in time for Thursday. I wonder if the Bills are staying in town till then. Ralph Wilson would've probably put 'em up somewhere.

They might be a decent team. They still have an uphill battle to make the playoffs.

Really not about this year. But when you add in the Rams first round pick which looks better every day, and the Lions pick, this team can really load up. I'd package what I could for Will Anderson myself.
And don't forget about Jameson Williams. That'll be another first round talent we will have in 2023.
