It's time to believe in the Detroit Lions. Here's why.

This is an opinion piece from MLive.com reporter Kyle Meinke

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Matthew Stafford seemed kind of confused.

The Detroit Lions didn't ask him to lead some magnificent comeback. Didn't ask him to do much of anything, actually. He attempted just 22 passes. Yet the Lions cruised past the Dolphins 32-21 on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.

They led from start to finish on the road against a first-place team. They scored on every possession except one. With Stafford playing little more than a supporting role.

When was the last time that sort of thing was even possible?
