It would’ve been easy to shrug off the Detroit Lions’ two-game winning streak going into Week 11. Not only did they barely get by in both games, but those wins came against the lowly Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
However, on Sunday, the Lions made a huge statement. Heading into New York for a contest against the surprisingly 7-2 Giants, Detroit dominated every aspect of the game. On offense, the Lions tallied over 150 yards on the ground and found the end zone four times. On defense, they forced a normally-sound Giants offense into three turnovers.
In the end, the final score of 31-18 wasn’t very emblematic of the actual competitiveness of the game.
