The Detroit Lions continue to win and continue to stay atop of the NFC North standings with six games to go in the regular season.
This past Sunday afternoon, Detroit used a stout defensive effort and a balanced offensive attack to come away with a 24-6 road win over the Indianapolis Colts to improve to 10-1 on the season and 6-0 on the road.
With the win, the Lions also maintain the top spot in the NFC with the surging 9-2 Philadelphia Eagles right behind them.
Here’s how the NFC North shapes up after Week #12:
Detroit Lions – 10-1 (2-0 NFC North)
Minnesota Vikings – 9-2 (2-1 NFC North)
Green Bay Packers – 8-3 (1-2 NFC North)
Chicago Bears – 4-7 (0-2 NFC North)
This Thursday, the Lions embark on their annual Thanksgiving game as they host the struggling 4-7 Chicago Bears at 12:30 pm inside Ford Field looking snap a seven-game losing streak on Turkey Day.
The last victory on Thanksgiving came in 2016 against the Minnesota Vikings by a 16-13 final.
