Lions Carry Four-Game Streak Into Patriots' 19-Giveaway Test

Detroit brings a 6-2 record, a four-game winning streak and a No. 10 power-index rank into Sunday’s 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff; New England is 5-4, No. 14, and has lost two of its last three. Jahmyr Gibbs has 847 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, while Detroit averages 127.8 rushing yards per game against a Patriots defense allowing 96.7. The pressure point is ball security: New England has 19 giveaways, including 11 interceptions by Drake Maye, despite his 18 touchdown passes. If Detroit keeps its ground game moving and makes New England pay for mistakes, the Lions can extend their streak; the Patriots need cleaner possessions to pull off the upset.
