The Detroit Lions have now won six of their last seven games, are an even 7-7 on the season, and are firmly in the hunt for a chance at the playoffs.
This was easily the ugliest win of the Lions’ recent streak, but with every win comes a lesson, and the lesson here is that when the pressure was on, they found a way to win on the road against one of the best defenses in the NFL.
And that brings us to our first game ball candidate.

Stat line: 1 reception, 51-yards, game-winning touchdown
Down 17-13, with just one timeout remaining, the Lions were on a gotta-have-it drive.
