Saints' next opponent holds record for close games, and more to know about the Lions

One certainty for the New Orleans Saints' next opponent this season is that at some point in the fourth quarter, they will be in position for a comeback.

Another certainty for the Detroit Lions as that the final score will be close.

The Lions enter their Sunday game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as the only team in NFL history to have their first 11 games decided by seven or fewer points.

In all those games, they trailed at some point in the fourth quarter. And in seven of those, they came back to win, including in the 16-13 Thanksgiving victory against the Minnesota Vikings.
