Power ranking each of the NFC division leaders as we head into Week 10
The Detroit Lions are the best team in the NFC, but who is a close second?
Sports Seriously
The Detroit Lions will face the Houston Texans on “Sunday Night Football” in a Week 10 battle between two of the NFL‘s best teams.
Detroit (7-1) is on a six-game winning streak, and those victories have largely been by comfortable margins. Last week’s 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers wasn’t as close as the scoreline indicates, with the Lions leading 24-3 before holding off a late comeback attempt from their bitter NFC North rivals. It hasn’t been flashy for Detroit lately, with Jared Goff throwing for just 230 yards in the last two games, but the Lions are securing wins thanks to a defense that has consistently produced turnovers and a dominant rushing attack built around Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.
Houston (6-3) has performed well overall in 2024, but is looking for improvement after suffering two losses in its last three games. Last week’s 21-13 loss to the New York Jets saw multiple long drives fizzle out, with Houston having to settle for field goals when it needed touchdowns. The Texans are also keeping a close eye on wide receiver Nico Collins, who as of Friday was listed as questionable with a hamstring issue.
