A 71-yard scamper highlights the Detroit Lions successful day on the ground against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Grabbing the victory solidified the Lions in the middle of the NFC North, a division muddied with a tie and three teams with three victories.
The Minnesota Vikings currently lead the division with four wins, but nobody is running away with the NFC North just yet. For the Lions, running away from the defense has balanced the offense and made life harder for any team to defend them. With five divisional games left – three of them being hosted in Detroit – the odds are in the Lions favor to make some noise in the standings.
