Sunday was a huge win for Detroit to keep pace in the NFC North title race.
Division leader Chicago improved to 8-3 on the year beating Pittsburgh 31-28 to maintain their lead in the division. The Lions currently own the tiebreaker against the Bears thanks to their Week 2 win over Chicago in Detroit. The two will play in Chicago in the regular season finale Week 18.
Green Bay defeated Minnesota, 23-6, to improve to 7-3-1 on the year and a half game ahead of Detroit. Detroit and Green Bay square off Thursday on Thanksgiving at Ford Field as Detroit looks to split that series after a Week 1 loss in Green Bay.
Penei Sewell (ankle), Taylor Decker (shoulder), Tate Ratledge (knee) and Graham Glasgow (knee) all came into Sunday's contest questionable to play due to injury. All four starting offensive linemen were active and played pretty darn well, as Detroit totaled 494 yards of offense with 237 of those coming on the ground.
"Those guys are a rare breed," quarterback [Jared Goff](https://www.detroitlions.com/team/players-roster/jared-goff/) said of his offensive line. "They're battling right now through some stuff. They don't want your sympathy. They're just going to put their head down and work. I'm proud of those guys and thankful for them laying it on the line for me and for the backs every game."
Wide receiver and kick returner Kalif Raymond left the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. We'll have to monitor his status on a short week.
