The Detroit Lions are enjoying their best start in 70 years, currently sitting at 8-1, thanks in part to Jared Goff's leadership. Despite Goff's five interceptions in a recent game, the Lions managed to overcome a 16-point deficit to defeat the Houston Texans, marking a historic win.
Coach Dan Campbell and Goff acknowledged the team's resilience, noting they are built differently. The Lions are on a seven-game winning streak and are poised to achieve a milestone not seen since 1934 if they can beat the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars are struggling, having lost 13 of their last 16 games, and face uncertainty regarding coach Doug Pederson's future. The team is also dealing with injuries, as Trevor Lawrence is sidelined again. The Lions are also set to welcome Za'Darius Smith to their lineup, enhancing their already strong defense.
