NFL Week 12 power rankings: Detroit Lions moving past ‘lovable losers’ label

The Detroit Lions (4-6) secured their third win in a row after beating the New York Giants 31-18 on Sunday, and as the team stacks win, the national attention is growing and half of the power rankings we track have the Lions slotted in the teens.

The national writers point to a variety of improvement the Lions have made over the last three week. Citing everything from coach Dan Campbell’s coaching style, to Jamaal Williams leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns, to the defense finding their way. There’s also a few who are only looking at the box score and not watching games (you’ll see it), but regardless, the overall theme this week is best summed up by NFL.
