NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
NFL Stock Watch: NFC crowded at top with Lions win; Browns D stays dominant (STOCK UP - Detroit Lions:  The Lions are 5-1, sitting tied atop the NFC with the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers. The Lions have a +55 point differential, good for second in the conference. They are winning because they know who they are and play to it. The Lions offense is led by their mauling O-line, while offensive coordinator Ben Johnson dials up the right throws for quarterback Jared Goff. The Lions have built up their skill position weapons over the years and each game it's paying off. Goff is spreading the ball around and keeping defenses off balance. The Lions defense needed some fresh players after a weak showing last season and the additions via the draft, like rookie defensive back Brian Branch, in addition to free-agent signings have paid off. Detroit also has an improving pass rush anchored by second-year star in the making, Aiden Hutchinson. He has 4.5 sacks but his impact is far more than his sack numbers. The Lions go on the road to face the Baltimore Ravens next weekend followed by hosting the Las Vegas Raiders before their bye week. A 6-2 start with two games apiece against the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings left on the schedule could see the Lions into double-digits win territory.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfc-crowded-at-top-with-lions-win-losses-by-49ers-eagles

NFL overreactions, reality checks: Too much CMC?Lions are the best team in the NFC - Overreaction or reality: Overreaction.  Detroit is certainly looking like the team to beat in the NFC after the Lions took care of business against Tampa Bay. Detroit's defense held its opponent to 20 points or fewer for the fourth time this season, while scoring 20-plus points for the 15th straight game (a franchise record).  Jared Goff threw for 353 yards against a good Buccaneers secondary and didn't throw an interception, carrying an offense that survived the loss of David Montgomery. Jameson Williams adds a deep-ball counter to Amon-Ra St. Brown's route-running, making the passing game even more dangerous.   The defense held Tampa Bay to 2 of 12 on third down and 4.6 yards per play on the afternoon. The Lions are just pulling off complete wins, no matter the opponent. They are the hottest team in the NFC, but their test will be the Eagles and 49ers in January (they don't play them in the regular season).  Make no mistake. The Lions are good.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-6-overreactions-reality-checks-49ers-overusing-christian-mccaffrey-lions-best-team-in-nfc/

32 things we learned in NFL Week 6: Losses by Eagles, 49ers leave uncertainty at top (8. Are the Detroit Lions the NFL’s best team? We mentioned power rankings won’t be out until Tuesday? But they’re 5-1, too – their best record to start a season since 2011 – after thumping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-6. Few teams have the balance on both sides of the ball that Detroit does.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2023/10/15/nfl-takeaways-eagles-niners-browns-jets-week-6/71200208007/
