The Lions didnt come out of nowhere. Stafford is healthy this year. That is the biggest difference from last season. The D is stepping up huge too but it's the same core guys as last season.

They did and thye didnt. They finished strong last year and was hopeful it would carry into this year. Staffords health/durability was/is a concern and I believe the running game was also questionable. The defense is a young unit and is still improving and it helps that calvin johnson is having an insane season so far.

The bills we all figured would be in the sweepstakes for the #1 pick this year.
