Buffalo ended Detroit's 11-game winning streak while Philadelphia won its 10th straight, shaking up the top of Bucky Brooks' rankings.
In one of the most exciting games of the season, the Bills outscored the Lions on the road to end Detroit's 11-game winning streak. And since the Lions were my No. 1 team entering Week 15, you would think that the Bills should claim the top spot. Not so fast. Yes, the Bills have scored 90 points the past two weeks, but they've also given up 86, forcing Josh Allen to be Superman. So after an aerial display against the Steelers on Sunday, it's the Eagles who jump to the top spot.
Injuries could derail the Lions' title chances this season as the team loses blue-chip defenders to various season-ending ailments. The loss of Carlton Davis and Alim McNeill further weakens a defensive unit already missing Aidan Hutchinson, Alex Anzalone, Ennis Rakestraw and others due to long-term injuries. With so many backups and inexperienced players forced into action, it was only a matter of time before the lack of talent and depth impacted Detroit's performance.
