The Detroit Lions are playing like the best team in both the NFC and maybe the NFL.
They scored 52 points last week in a dominant win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Of course, the question is whether or not there is a team out there that can stop them.
Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky believes three teams could at least challenge Detroit.
“Philadelphia matches up well…I also think two other teams that I would say are capable of (beating Detroit) that I feel confident in is one, Green Bay, and two, the Los Angeles Rams,” Orlovsky said Thursday on Get Up.

The Philadelphia Eagles have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball and are currently looking like a real NFC power.
They have won six consecutive games and appear to be a true Super Bowl contender.
Regarding the Green Bay Packers, the Lions have already beaten them this season on the road.
But the Packers are a division rival who beat Dan Campbell and Co. in Detroit last Thanksgiving.
With its explosive offense and improved defense, Matt LaFleur’s team could be dangerous down the stretch.
The Los Angeles Rams are sitting quietly at 5-5, and it is hard to say whether they can make the playoffs.
But if they do, they have played the Lions very close the last two times.
If the Lions faced the Rams in the playoffs again, former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford might have payback on his mind.
