‘In the race to end their NFL-worst 11-year non-playoff streaks, the Detroit Lions appear to have a significant lead over Buffalo. The Lions have their franchise quarterback (if Matthew Stafford can get and stay healthy), a top-notch receiver in Calvin Johnson, two promising young running backs (Jahvid Best and No. 57 overall pick Mikel LeShoure) and can build their defense around possibly the NFL’s best and deepest defensive line. With Ndamukong Suh and bargain No. 13 overall pick Nick Fairley, the Lions will be very tough to run against. The secondary is the only glaring weakness.’
