Lions, Bucs recap: Defensive magic, but offensive concerns?
The story of Monday night’s game between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was Detroit’s improbable defensive performance.

Discussion: Where do the Detroit Lions rank in a crowded NFC?
By playoff seeding, the Detroit Lions are currently holding the five spot.

But playoff seeding is […]
