The Detroit Lions are rolling.
Sunday's win over the first-place Minnesota Vikings gives the Lions five wins in the past six games and solidifies their spot as a true wild-card contender. They're a game up on three 5-8 teams and trail only the 7-6 Seattle Seahawks — who are a half-game behind the third wild-card slot-holding New York Giants — outside of the playoff field.
Jared Goff (27-for-39, 330 yards and three touchdowns) was masterful in carving up Minnesota and though Justin Jefferson (11 catches for 223 yards) went bonkers, Detroit's defense did enough to bring home another win.
