Detroit Lions quarterly report card: Team firing on all cylinders

Ever since the NFL moved to a 17-game schedule, there’s no true thing as the quarter mark. What used to be a nice, symmetrical slate of games is now an awkward, imbalanced mess. I’m with Dan Campbell.

“You wanted to be 3-1 in a quarter and now, we can’t do that. I’m not great at math, but it’s hard to quarter things now with 17 weeks,” Campbell said Friday. “But the point is, it’s good to be 3-1.”

It is good to be 3-1, because the Detroit Lions aren’t just winning, they’re doing it while playing well and taking down good teams in tough environments.
