Looking at the rest of the current top teams in the NFL and their records against teams that currently hold a winning record:

  • Eagles (9-1) are 4-0

  • Ravens (8-3) are 4-2

  • Chiefs (7-3) are 3-2

  • 49ers (7-3) are 3-2

  • Jaguars (7-3) are 1-3

  • Cowboys (7-3) are 0-2

  • Dolphins (7-3) are 0-3

Part of the Lions’s low record against winning teams is due to a weaker NFC North this season (although Vikings currently hold a winning record and Lions have yet to play them). But it still stands that the Lions have had a relatively weaker schedule this year, and have not defeated a team with a current winning record since Week 1.

This stands to change with upcoming games against the Vikings (6-5) and Cowboys (7-3), as well as possibly the Broncos and Saints (5-5) depending on how their records turn out.

    It’s almost like the schedule is made up by the NFL before the season starts and you can only play the teams that are already scheduled. They’ve also beaten up on a ton of teams and have played 2 bad games this whole season. Last weekend against the Bears in which they still rallied to win and a few weeks ago where were completely outclassed by the Ravens. This Lions team will go toe-to-toe with pretty much anybody.
