Ford Field in Detroit is set to feature two 8-6 NFL teams—the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions- fighting to save their seasons. The Lions have opened as the favorites to defeat the AFC North leaders.

Both teams experienced different results in their last fixtures. While the Steelers grabbed an impressive win over the Miami Dolphins, the Lions tasted defeat despite leading at halftime against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Lions quarterback, Jared Goff, threw 25 completions for 338 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. The Rams shut down the Lions’ famous run game, spearheaded by Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. The pair together put up 70 yards on the ground on 20 carries and one score. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown went 13 for 164 receiving yards and scored 2 touchdowns, while Jameson Williams caught 7 for 13 and one score.

In the freezing temperatures of Pittsburgh, the Steelers lead by twenty-five points at the start of the fourth quarter. The Dolphins scored two late touchdowns, but the Steelers held on for a crucial victory. Aaron Rodgers went 23/27 in completions (85%) for 224 yards and 2 touchdowns. Kenneth Gainwell rushed 13 times for 80 yards. Tight ends Jonnu Smith and Connor Heyward rushed for one touchdown each, and wideout DK Metcalf created another one on three snags.

Sunday’s fixture will be the first between these two teams since 2021 that ended in an overtime tie. The Steelers lead the series 17-14-2.

Rodgers tormented the Lions as the Green Bay Packers quarterback. He is 18-8 against the NFC North franchise and has thrown 50 touchdowns and 5917 yards. However, the 41-year-old is 0-3 in his last three.

Why can the Steelers win?

Aaron Rodgers has looked good in the last few weeks. The Dolphins game will provide the necessary boost in confidence for the 4x NFL MVP. Rodgers has a passer rating of 98.8 with 2,594 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions in 13 games. Gainwell has had 93 carries for 451 yards and has scored 6 touchdowns in 14 appearances. Metcalf has caught 52 passes for 753 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Why can the Lions win?

The Lions need to shake off the loss against the Rams. The good news is that they are at home inside a dome rather than in freezing Pittsburgh. Goff should take advantage and add to his season’s tally, which is 110.4 passer rating with 3,672 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. Gibbs has rushed 200 times for 110 yards and 13 touchdowns. St. Brown has accumulated 94 catches for 1140 yards and 11 touchdowns.
