The Detroit Lions delivered another statement victory on Thursday Night Football, but there attention will quickly turn to facing the Buffalo Bills next week.
Dec 06, 2024 at 11:01 AM ETWith injuries mounting, and a tough division rival in their building on a short week, it wouldn’t have been unreasonable to expect a letdown following an 11-1 start.
Detroit is also 1.5 games up on the Philadelphia Eagles in their pursuit of the NFC’s No. 1 seed for the first time in franchise history. That’s quite the turnaround for a team that went 3-13-1 in Dan Campbell’s first season back in 2021. The Stage Is Nearly Set For Epic Clash Of NFL Titans In Week 15Dan Campbell to win NFL Head Coach of the Year is -200.For as impressive as the season to date has been, Detroit can’t afford a letdown over the final four weeks.With a win, Philly will be one game back of the Lions for the NFC’s No. 1 seed.With a win, Minnesota will also be just one game back.
If the Bills beat LA this weekend, the two favourites to represent their respective conferences in the Super Bowl will meet in a highly anticipated Week 15 showdown with both teams riding extensive win streaks.The stakes will be even higher when Detroit hosts Buffalo in a game that will have major implications for both teams in their bids for the No. 1 seed in their respective conferences.
