Comeback win by Lions shows why this could finally be their year

Another outstanding player on offense for Detroit is receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. St. Brown is widely considered one of the best receivers in the league, and continues to prove that on a weekly basis, as he ranks second in the NFL in receiving touchdowns. 

After scoring on Sunday, St. Brown now has a receiving touchdown in seven straight games, which is a new franchise record.

On the defensive side of the ball, the mood was somber after superstar defensive end Aiden Hutchinson went down for the season, but the Detroit defensive unit has stepped up in his absence, especially while pitching a second-half shutout against Houston on Sunday. 

With Detroit's next four games being against the Jaguars, Colts, Bears and Packers, there is a high probability that it heads into a Week 15 showdown against the Bills with a 12-1 record.

The Lions seem to be the most close-knit team in the league, and the attitude and energy they put on the field every Sunday is unmatched. They are a team that truly fights for each other week in and week out.

Everything points towards the road to the Super Bowl in the NFC going through Detroit, and it seems there is no team, at this moment, that can go into Ford Field and beat the Lions in a playoff game. 

With this group playing the way that they are, Detroit has a real chance of hoisting its first Lombardi Trophy in February.
