The Lions are 6-2.
No, you didn't read that incorrectly, the Lions are in fact 4 games over .500 and quickly approaching legitimacy. Believe it or not.
In last Sunday's victory over the Broncos the Lions looked to be clicking on all cylinders not only offensively but defensively at all. Detroit scored two defensive touchdowns, including a 66-yard scamper by Big Baby Shaun Rogers, and continued to be a force that Detroit hasn't had since Robert Porcher's hay-day.
The record is great, they have already doubled their win total from last year. But now the real schedule begins. The Lions still have to play Green Bay twice, Dallas, at San Diego and Kansas City. A very daunting schedule indeed, throw in games at Arizona and Minnesota and you may have the toughest second half in the NFL.
If the Lions are going to make the playoffs they will have to be 10-6. Assuming they take care of Arizona and the Vikings they will have to beat Green Bay once, and knock off either Dallas, San Diego or KC.
It's not going to be easy, but hey, this is God's Team.
