Here are the Lions’ results since the start of October: win, loss, win, loss, win, loss, win, loss, win. The win over the Cowboys hinted at their potential again, but it’s hard to rank them much higher than this when they haven’t put together a two-game winning streak in more than two months. Also, Detroit’s ability to make a deep playoff run probably relies on the Lions not catching any cold-weather games, given how much worse they are in outdoor games. The Lions are a good team but it’s hard to talk yourself into a Super Bowl run for them.
