This team has now survived almost everything. They recovered from Goff’s midgame collapse; they recovered from a season-altering injury; they’ve recovered from the crippling burden of hype, and now they’re recovering from having their second-best quarterback forced out of the game because the NFL likes to look like a good babysitter when parents are watching. They won in many ways. They know who they are from deeply personal experience and are not afraid to be that person. It’s very funny to see how this all happens.

Okay, so St. Brown’s Amun-Ra hoodie wasn’t very good, but it’s hard not to love these Lions, who mixed the “Us Against the World” attitude with Dan Campbell’s “Meat Head” schtick with a scary offense to work the magic. The Lions lead the league in scoring (32.25) and rank fifth in scoring defense (18.5). Over the last six games, Detroit has more touchdowns (28) than incompletions (24).

This is the best team in the NFC as Jared Goff continues to play great football. Does the ball ever hit the ground when he throws it lately?

Jared Goff has the highest completion percentage (82.8%) and passer rating (140.1) through all six games in NFL history. That he continued this hot streak outdoors during a downpour in Green Bay is impressive. If the Lions earn the top seed in the NFC playoffs, Goff will receive MVP votes.

The Lions have one loss, but that’s ancient history. They won six competitions in a row. They are also the most dominant team in the league at the moment, as evidenced by their +110 point differential.

During their winning streak, the Lions beat their opponents by an average of three points per contest. Goff is engaged. His relationship with wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is amazing. Tackle Jameer Gibbs is a big play waiting to happen. The offensive line is the best in the league. The defense has playmakers. Detroit truly is a complete team.

There is no replacement for injured DE Aidan Hutchinson. But will the NFC leaders add someone, perhaps DE Za’Darius Smith, as a temporary patch before the deadline? However, that may not matter too much considering how well this multi-faceted offense performs. QB Jared Goff and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown haven’t had a miss since Week 3, racking up 30 consecutive targets, the longest streak of any punter since 2016.
