Though they haven’t exactly looked like a juggernaut this season, the Chiefs have won 13 straight games dating back to last season. And other than the Buccaneers on Monday and the Bills in Week 11, Kansas City’s second-half schedule doesn’t seem overly daunting.
So who’s going to stop the Chiefs from rolling over the league on their way to the first three-peat of the Super Bowl era? We may get a hint on Sunday when the Lions visit the Packers. Does the winner of this marquee matchup get to claim the title of Best Team in the NFC?
FOX Sports’ NFL experts tackle that topic as well as several others, including whether Anthony Richardson is finished in Indy, who’ll be impacted most by the Maryland Miracle and which big names could be on the move before next week’s trade deadline.
Let’s get started.
Should the winner of Sunday’s Lions-Packers game be considered the best team in the NFC?
The fact that the Packers are still in this conversation with Jordan Love having missed significant time (and could again this week) says all you need to know about the viability of this Green Bay team. The Packers have an incredibly well-rounded offense, even when Malik Willis is at the helm, and their defense has been tweaked and adjusted nearly every week to have very few holes. They take the ball away at one of the best rates in the league and are now figuring out how to get pressure in Jeff Hafley’s new scheme.
Meanwhile, the Lions look like an absolute juggernaut and can seemingly win at-will. Not only are they winning, but they’re playing with their food in the process. Running back David Montgomery threw a touchdown pass last game. There’s seemingly no limit to offensive coordinator Ben Johnson’s creativity, and the defense has figured out how to get by without its best pass rusher.
So the answer is yes, absolutely. — Carmen Vitali
