Sunday’s game slate ends with a possible fun game as the Houston Texans host the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football. The Lions are one of the best teams in the NFC, and the Texans have that awesome defense, so maybe DeMeco Ryans can provide the NFC with some possible blueprints. It’s hard to believe the 49ers are only two games back from the 7-win threshold the rest of the NFC is at, but they are.
The Lions have just come off a 24-14 win in Green Bay. Given how much this usually swings the other way when they go there, it’s a good indication how the league has changed.
