Lions rise in Week 3 power rankings after burying Ben Johnson's Bears

The Detroit Lions are back on top!

Well, towards the top, anyway. That's a big improvement upon a fall from grace after a Week 1 demolishing of them at the hands of NFC North rivals in the Green Bay Packers. Week 2 proved to be the perfect soothing elixir for fans who might've been ready to hit the panic button after witnessing Detroit get shellacked by the Packers' defense, as the Lions returned the favor to the Chicago Bears in a 52-21 home victory.

Detroit has shot back up on NFL Spin Zone's power rankings ahead of Week 3, as they leap from 15th to 7th behind their huge statement win against former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
