Denver Broncos Form

The Broncos’ season looked to be all but over in mid-October when they lost for the fifth time in six games to fall to 1-5.
However, they stopped the rot with a 19-17 win over Green Bay, and followed that up with a 24-9 upset of Kansas City and a surprise 24-22 win in Buffalo.
Denver then took their win streak to five games with back-to-back home wins, beating Minnesota 21-20 and Cleveland 29-12.
The Broncos’ tear was halted by a 22-17 defeat in Houston, but they rebounded immediately with a 24-7 victory at the Los Angeles Chargers.

Detroit come into this game having lost two of their last three to fall to 9-4 on the season.
The Lions raced out of the blocks by winning five of their first six games to take control of the NFC North.
They saw a four-game streak end with a 38-6 blowout loss in Baltimore, but they bounced back with a three-game win streak.
Detroit beat Las Vegas 26-14 at home and the Los Angeles Chargers 41-38 on the road, before staging a sensational late fightback to snatch a 31-26 win over Chicago.
However, the Lions’ momentum has stalled since then, as they have sandwiched a 33-28 win in New Orleans with a 29-22 defeat to Green Bay and a 28-13 loss in Chicago.
