No wins or losses are awarded during a team's bye week. That doesn't mean the Detroit Lions aren't keeping a watchful eye on their division rivals, hoping to improve their NFC North prospects.
Sunday got off to a good start for the Lions as Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears (4-3) fell on the road to the Baltimore Ravens (2-5), snapping a four-game winning streak. The Ravens were without quarterback Lamar Jackson, opting to hold him off until at least Thursday for their primetime matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Instead, Tyler Huntley got the start after rejoining the Ravens this season for his third stint with the team that previously saw him receive a baffling Pro Bowl nod in 2022.
