The Detroit Lions (1-6) and Kansas City Chiefs (2-5) are getting more and more buried and in danger of missing the playoffs as they accumulate losses each week.

The Kansas City Chiefs play the Detroit Lions in one of the National Football League games on Sunday, November 1 start time at 10:30 AM ET, at Wembly Stadium, London, England.
The Detroit Lions have had a recurring problem with unblocked pass rushers this year, and one thing new offensive line coach Ron Prince might do to fix that is simplifying the team’s blocking scheme. But K.C. has given up 100-plus games in its most recent games with Smith never leaving the field.
Johnson was given a non-injury related day off on Wednesday, but was back at it Thursday. However, it might not matter who’s under center for Tennessee if its defense keeps coughing up points in the fourth quarter.
The totals of 26 and 28 points there came against a common opponent in the Minnesota Vikings, who is the 26th ranked offense and scored 16 points against the Chiefs. Defensively, the Chiefs yield 264.6 yards in passing and 103.4 yards in passing. That type of defensive dwindling sets up for a few painful backdoor covers the other way, especially against teams like Houston. I imagine Lions fans and Chiefs fans feel the same way: our team is better than our record.
Martin said last season he had a hard time planting on kickoffs. In Week 6, the Texans put up 21 points in the closing 15 minutes to edge the Jaguars.

“He’s a younger guy and definitely has a lot of fire in him”, Johnson said of Cooter. Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson have connected for 50 TD receptions, one of five active duos to reach that milestone…. “What that looks like on Sunday you guys will see”. He had 22 sacks last season…. Detroit plays five of its last nine games away from home. The Chiefs defense is allowing 24.6 points and 368 yards per game with six interceptions, four fumble recoveries, and 15 sacks.
