5. Detroit Lions (4-3) Last week: 4

Detroit let one slip away, like Green Bay, against the Cincinnati Bengals. Megatron and A.J. Green put on a show for all to see Sunday. The franchise wide receivers combined for 15 receptions, 310 yards, and 3 TDs. Unfortunately, Detroit came out on the losing end. Detroit will be desperate to keep pace with Green Bay in the NFC North. A matchup with outspoken Dez Bryant and the Cowboys looms this weekend. With both teams not exactly the most consistent, this matchup will come down to which quarterback can keep from making mistakes.
