Just four of the NFL’s 32 teams have yet to play in the Super Bowl, and two of them will take center stage in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football in what could be the matchup in New Orleans in February. The 7-1 Detroit Lions and 6-3 Houston Texans clash in Houston, and both have an eye on deep playoff runs this season. The Lions have been on fire, winning six straight and averaging 36 points per game over that span with victories over playoff contenders in the Vikings, Packers and Cardinals. Jared Goff is completing 83% of his passes on the win streak with 13 touchdowns and one interception.
While C.J. Stroud gets the headlines in Houston — he’s on pace for another 4,000-yard passing season — the Texans’ defense has led the charge to sit atop the AFC South. Houston is second in the NFL in total defense, allowing just over 280 yards per game. The Texans are coming off a mini-bye, having last played Halloween night in a Thursday Night Football loss to the Jets in New York.
