4 of the Lions last 5 games have been on the road, and they won them all. 3 of them were against playoff caliber teams in Minnesota, Green Bay, and Houston. Now the next 3 are against Jacksonville, Indianapolis, and Chicago. They should be 11-1. At the beginning of the season, this was seen as a tough schedule and still has been. Dallas is worse than expected, but Minnesota is better than expected, so it evens out.
