It was an exciting, well-played half from Dan Campbell's squad, and one which instilled confidence in the Detroit fanbase. Yet, fatigue set in for the undermanned Lions in the second half, and L.A. receivers Davante Adams and Puka Nacua took full advantage.

NFL Week 16 odds, picks, predictions, TV channel, streaming information for the Sunday football game between Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions.

If Detroit Lions win the next 2 weeks, they could face a win-and-in playoff scenario in Week 18 season finale against Ben Johnson and Chicago Bears.

The Detroit Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff, face the Green Bay Packers, led by quarterback Jordan Love, on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025 (9/7/25) at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.

Following his dominant nine-catch, 181-yard performance in the Rams' Week 15 win over the Detroit Lions, Nacua now averages 93.7 career receiving yards per game. That number passed Justin Jefferson, who previously held the record. He now sits at second with 90.8 receiving yards per game.

Well, at least according to a number of NFL fans, who have crowned Matthew Stafford the definitive frontrunner after he threw for 368 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a crucial 41-34 win over the Detroit Lions that kept the Rams No. 1 in the NFC.

Last week's win included another efficient performance for Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who completed 25-of-34 passes for 309 yards and one touchdown against the Cowboys. The running game helped Detroit run up the score, as Jahmyr Gibbs scored three touchdowns and David Montgomery added another.

The Detroit Lions are expected to break the bank to make sure they keep superstar running back Jahmyr Gibbs with the team for a long time.
