The Detroit Lions head on the road for the fourth time in five weeks for a primetime matchup with the Houston Texans. The Lions haven’t beaten the Texans since their very first contest, in 2004, losing four straight including the embarrassing Thanksgiving 2020 loss. That 41-25 Turkey Day stuffing from the Texans was a blessing in disguise as Matt Patricia was deservingly fired after the game and led to the head coach opening for Dan Campbell to fill. Now the Lions, led by Campbell, are looking to start a season 8-1 for only the third time in franchise history (1931 and 1954).
