Real or just a mirage? Let's rate the sustainability of 32 NFL surprises through two games (Detroit Lions:  The early surprise: The Lions are tied for the NFL's most receiving touchdowns this season.  The verdict: Real. With so many offensive playmakers returning, Lions QB Jared Goff could very well continue this trend. Goff and Detroit scored five touchdowns during the 52-21 Week 2 beatdown versus Chicago -- All-Pro WR Amon-Ra St. Brown scored three of those -- but Goff will also be throwing to WR Jameson Williams, rookie WR Isaac TeSlaa, TE Sam LaPorta and RB Jahmyr Gibbs this season. Detroit was able to set a franchise record by averaging 8.8 yards per play on offense against the Bears and produced a game with at least 500 total net yards, five passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns for the first time in franchise history. -- Eric Woodyard):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46226579/evaluating-32-nfl-team-surprise-trends-2025-first-two-weeks-real-mirage

Five NFL teams on upset alert in Week 3 (Detroit Lions at Baltimore Ravens (-6):  We have a heavyweight bout and realistic Super Bowl preview on deck for Monday Night Football. Why is the spread so high? This feels like more of a field goal game, but the Lions are currently getting six points, which feels too rich. There's absolutely a world where they go to Baltimore and pull out a win. Yes, Detroit was sluggish in the opener, but I believe it is much closer to the club that we saw just drop 52 points in Week 2. The Lions are also equipped to attack what has been a beatable Ravens run defense with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. I certainly like the Lions with the points and see them coming out of Week 3 on top.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-upsets-ravens-week-3/

QB Rankings:

NFL QB ranks Week 3: Daniel Jones, better than Josh Allen in 1 specific way (Tier I: Elite (but not quite Super Bowl trustworthy) - 2. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions: 0.241.  Goff overcame a rough start (against Parsons and the Packers) to sling five touchdowns against the Chicago Bears, who have settled into their own disaster despite preseason optimism.):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2025/09/17/nfl-qb-ranks-week-3-daniel-jones-josh-allen-jordan-love/86177889007/

QB Power Rankings: Justin Herbert bolts into top three (7. Jared Goff
Detroit Lions QB:  Resilience has been the name of the game for Goff in Detroit. And Week 2 was just the latest example. Given a clean pocket, he picked apart the Bears with ease. It helps he's got the dynamic burst of Jameson Williams at his disposal. (+5)):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/week-3-nfl-qb-power-rankings-chargers-chiefs-justin-herbert-patrick-mahomes/
