The Lions dropped another decision, this time to Minnesota 28-19.
The Chiefs finally got back in the win column as they knocked off the Steelers at home 23-13.
Detroit
The Lions struggles have turned into a disaster as Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson have no supporting case and have both struggled on their own.
Matthew Stafford had a decent outing in the loss to Minnesota as he finished with 256 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Stafford struggled late in the game thanks in large part to his offensive line. The line continued to break down and was sacked 7 times in the contest.

The offensive line problems stem further than just protecting Stafford. Detroit’s rush offense is last in the league with 66.5 rush yards per game.
Ameer Abdullah nor Zach Zenner have just 239 total yards combined and one rushing touchdown to their credit.
The Lions defense has also been sputtering this season. The Detroit defense has allowed an average of 28.6 points per game. That comes with an allowance of 392.3 yards against per game.
Kansas City
The Chiefs stayed relevant at least for another week with their home win against Pittsburgh. Kansas City has battled through many injuries this season, but at least found a solid back in Charcandrick West.
West rushed for 110 yards against one of the best defenses in the league and added his first touchdown to his credit. West should be able to find some gaps in the Lions defense as they’re allowing 123.4 rush yards per game.

QB Alex Smith tossed for 251 yards as his game has improved as of late. With West starting to really find a stride, a lot of the pressure is being taken off Smith.
On the season, Smith as thrown for 1573 yards, but only 6 touchdowns. His main target continues to be Travis Kelce, who caught a touchdown pass against Pittsburgh. This season, Kelce has 489 receiving yars to go along with 2 scores.
