Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

Andre Ellington

10. Detroit Lions (LW: 12)

The Lions looked down, but they certainly were not out. Detroit overcame a two-touchdown hole to top the Saints and remain on top of the NFC North. Still, this team severely misses what Calvin Johnson brings to the table. Then the Lions can be even more dangerous.

What to know: The Lions overcame a 14-point deficit to win, which marked the 10th time this season a team rallied from a 14-plus-point hole to win. That’s the second-most through seven games since 1970. (NFL Media)
