Looking at the rest of the current top teams in the NFL and their records against teams that currently hold a winning record:

  • Eagles (9-1) are 4-0

  • Ravens (8-3) are 4-2

  • Chiefs (7-3) are 3-2

  • 49ers (7-3) are 3-2

  • Jaguars (7-3) are 1-3

  • Cowboys (7-3) are 0-2

  • Dolphins (7-3) are 0-3

Part of the Lions’s low record against winning teams is due to a weaker NFC North this season (although Vikings currently hold a winning record and Lions have yet to play them). But it still stands that the Lions have had a relatively weaker schedule this year, and have not defeated a team with a current winning record since Week 1.

This stands to change with upcoming games against the Vikings (6-5) and Cowboys (7-3), as well as possibly the Broncos and Saints (5-5) depending on how their records turn out.

    The word fraud makes no sense in this league nevause we have seen repeatedly, every year, bad teams can randomly have amazing games and turn things around. It’s called any given Sunday for a reason. These guys can suck for weeks and suddenly put it together just like that. It’s happened before and will always continue to happen. There’s a reason a lot of the top players parrot the “winning in the NFL is fucking hard”. It’s almost like they’re on to something.
