If there's one takeaway from the Detroit Lions' current three-game winning streak it's that takeaways matter.
The Lions have forced six turnovers in wins over the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and New York Giants the past three weeks after forcing six total in their 1-6 start. They've won the turnover battle in each of those games to improve to plus-one in the turnover department for the season.
Just seven teams have a better turnover margin. All but the Arizona Cardinals (plus-5 entering Monday night) have a winning record.
"It becomes contagious," Lions coach Dan Campbell said.
