Detroit Lions On Sunday afternoon they have a chance to do something they haven’t done in a long time. one win vs. Tennessee Titans at Ford Field it would take them to 6-1 on the season — their first 6-1 start since 1956 and only the fifth time they had won at least six of their first seven games in the 90 years since the team moved to Detroit.

(last year lions He reached 5-1 before being destroyed by the Ravens in Baltimore.)

Of course, they’ll have to deal with some trouble to get to 6-1. titans The defense was considered one of the best units in the league. And it’s a Titans offense that has its problems, to say the least. Can they do this? Four Free Press sports writers have some thoughts on the subject.

Dave Birkett

I think it qualifies as a trap game. The Lions are one of the top three teams in football, but the Titans clearly aren’t. The Lions are coming off a major league win against the Vikings and will face showdowns against potential playoff teams the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans over the next two weeks. Due to suspensions and injuries, they will be underplayed in defensive and defensive positions. Despite all that, I don’t see any way the Lions can lose this game.

The Titans have a good defensive core, but they haven’t been able to make enough game-changing plays this season to be considered one of the NFL’s best on that side of the ball. Tennessee needs to drive the ball well and often to keep this game close, but the Lions have too much offensive firepower at home to blow a game like this. Vote: Lions 27, Titans 13.

Jeff Seidel

Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn summed up Tennessee perfectly: “The first time we came here was in Tennessee. So it’s going to take a while for these guys to get exactly where they want to be.” Don’t be fooled by his opinion.

The Lions are not taking the Titans lightly. But the Lions are at a different stage; Even without Jameson Williams or Aidan Hutchinson, they have the talent and culture to win the games they need to win without fear of disappointment from a big win. And this is one of those moments. Vote: Lions 31, Titans 21.

I have no idea how the Lions will make up for Jameson Williams’ one-catch performance of minus 1 yard, but I believe Ben Johnson will get it done against one of the NFL’s worst teams. Much worse after shipping out receiver DeAndre Hopkins and linebacker Ernest Jones. The Titans at least have a good defense, but that won’t be enough in their first home game in a month against the NFC’s best team. Vote: Lions 36, Titans 9.

Dan Campbell and his coaches believe this will be a tough test, that Tennessee has a low-key rivalry and one of the best defenses in the NFL. The numbers skewed by the 34 points Buffalo scored last week point to a solid defense. The problem is the pressure on the offense and the defense. Who wants to keep coming back to the plate after another three-and-out?

Ignore Campbell’s assessment of the Titans if you want, but know that in this league, good defense and a few turnovers can very easily make the game competitive in the fourth quarter. The Lions will be sharp enough to avoid stress even without Jameson Williams. Vote: Lions 27, Titans 16.
