Someone flipped the script ahead of the NFC showdown. Detroit's makeshift secondary was part of a valiantly stout effort from Kelvin Sheppard's defense. The defense led the way in Detroit's 24-9 home win over the previously one-loss Buccaneers.

Dan Campbell shares his thoughts on Detroit's defensive performance in their dominant win over the Buccaneers on Monday night.

The Bucs’ star QB Baker Mayfield led his team on multiple second half drives that didn’t materialize in the points Tampa Bay needed as the Lions garnered key stop after key stop on their way to their fifth win of the season.

On "Monday Night Football" the Lions controlled the game from start to finish to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Saints, meanwhile, have been more competent than expected offensively, but their defense is a problem — allowing nearly 27 points per game and constantly digging early holes. They’re 2–5 ATS in first halves, which makes Tampa Bay -2.5 in the first half my best bet for the game.

Head coach Dan Campbell speaks to reporters about how it's good getting another win, to challenge and compete when it's your time up, and how the team is so adamant about fixing their mistakes.
