The Way We See It: Detroit Lions are fun but flawed

Lions are fun, but are they for real?

At 7-4 with a sweep of the season series over the Vikings in their pockets and the Packers seemingly in free fall, the Lions should be a prohibitive favorite in the NFC North.

But every time you get up close with the kings of the division jungle wannabes it's hard to escape the feeling they're basically little more than a mediocre football team.

The story of this Lions club is of course it is the first team ever to come from behind in the fourth quarter after trailing to win seven times in a season.
