Titans and Lions, best and worst at the NFL

What has become an outstanding season for the Titans has become a nightmare for the Lions, as these are the two teams on the league whom currently are in opposition to the other, with Tennessee holding a perfect 9-0 record and Detroit with a 0-9 record.

Besides 9 straight victories on the current season, the Titans just broke a franchise record with a 12-straight regular-season wins including their last games of last year. On the other hand, the Lions are close to their worst losing streak at the NFL since 2001 when they lost 12 games in a row. Detroit might even be close to become the first team in NFL history to go 0-16. In fact, the Lions have been defeated 16 times in their last 17 games and currently hold an NFL-worst 31-90 record since 2001.

Now let’s check on the team’s current standings. We got the Titans leading the AFC South while the Lions are last at the NFC North where the Bears are leading with a 5-4 record.

But not only Titans and Lions are far ahead of each other: On the underdogs side we got the Bengals and the Chiefs whom just have a single victory for the season, on the other hand, the Giants have lost one game this season.

Interestingly, the Titans next rival is Jacksonville, a team who just beat the Lions by 38-14 on Week 10, while Detroit will try to come up with their first victory of the season in front of the Panthers, whom are 7-2 and leading the NFC South.

I think Detroit’s offensive coordinator Jim Colletto played an important part on the Lions last defeat since he lined-up veteran Daunte Culpepper (who signed with the team just 4 days ago), instead of giving the chance to rookie Drew Stanton, even though fans and the media had been asking for Stanton to become the Lions starting quarterback.

Now its just a matter of watching the games to come and see when is it that these two teams are going to loose their current winner-loser correspondent status.
