The Detroit Lions (6-2) and New England Patriots (5-4) kick off Week 10 Sunday with an early bout in Munich, Germany. Despite it being a game between an NFC and AFC team, the stakes are pretty darn high.
The Patriots a significantly behind the 7-1 Buffalo Bills in the AFC East race, despite the fact that they are the one team to have defeated Buffalo. It’ll be a tough climb to catch them, but they may need to have their sights on the Wild Card spot, anyways. They’re currently holding the final playoff
spot in the AFC, and they have the 5-4 Browns nipping at their heels, as well as the Raiders (4-5) and Ravens (4-5).
The Lions, meanwhile, sit comfortably in the fifth seed in the NFC, but they still have their sights on a third divisional title in four years. They’re oddly a half-game away from the leading 7-2 Bears, but also just a half game from last in the division (6-3 Packers). If Detroit wins on Sunday, they’ll move into first place in the NFC North, no matter what the rest of the division does in Week 10.
