Two legitimate Super Bowl contenders will go head to head under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football in week six. Managers welcome red-hot Lions to Arrowhead Stadium.
The Lions were on a tear, having won four straight since their Week 1 upset. Jared Goff and company. have been roaring all season, sit comfortably among the league's elite, and have an offense that can light up the scoreboard in a hurry. Last time they beat a hapless Bengals team on the road, 37-24.
The Chiefs enter this primetime matchup on short rest after a tough 31-28 loss to the Chiefs. Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday evening. They find themselves in need of a major reboot. Their Week 5 performance was marred by mental errors and self-inflicted wounds that turned a winning game into a disappointing defeat.
Andy Reid and company will have to tighten the screws if they want to avoid another mistake against one of the deepest teams in the NFL. For Kansas City, the margin for error will be minimal.
To even their record to 3-3, the defending AFC champions must cut down on mistakes, stay sharp and bring back their signature swagger against a Detroit team that plays like it has something to prove.
