The beat-up Detroit Lions are trying to keep their four-game winning streak alive on “Sunday Night Football” against the Kansas City Chiefs. The nationally televised game should be a competitive one. While the Chiefs are only 2-3 on the season, their offense is starting to settle in (29.0 points per game in their last three) and they’re a last-minute touchdown away from a three-game winning streak of their own. With the Lions’ secondary missing nearly a half-dozen players this week, Patrick Mahomes could be in for a big game.
But the Lions counter with the best offense in football through five games, averaging 34.8 points per game. They have found their mojo after a disappointing open to the season, and they look as dangerous as any team in football right now.
