(CBS DETROIT) — The Detroit Lions (9-1) are looking to stay undefeated on the road as they take on the Indianapolis Colts (5-6) Sunday afternoon.
In Week 11, the Lions showed dominance in a 52-6 thrashing over the Jacksonville Jaguars, while the Colts beat the New York Jets in a close 28-27 game.
These two teams last met in 2020, with the Colts getting the best of the Lions in a 41-21 win in Detroit.
The Lions have won a league-high eight straight, earning the best record in the NFC that ties the NFL's best mark with Kansas City.
Amon-Ra St. Brown has been nearly flawless of late, setting a franchise record with a TD catch in eight consecutive games. He caught all 11 passes thrown his direction last week and 24 of the 26 over the past three weeks.
Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson was back under center last week after taking two weeks off, and delivered the best full game of his NFL career against the reeling Jets.
