The Detroit Lions are playing a brand of football that has instilled an unbridled confidence in their fans. In our most recent SB Nation Reacts survey, 96 percent of Lions fans are confident the team is headed in the right direction, and after the way Detroit walked over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13, that number could only go up.
But this Lions team isn’t floating on hope alone. Detroit is making a case over the past month to be playing some of the best football not just in their division, not just in their conference, but in the entire NFL.
