The Packers Are Good, But Watch Out For The Detroit Lions

As a Packer fan, I am quite happy that the Packers are 4-0 and really have looked good. But that was expected from the Packers.
However the Detroit Lions are the surprise team of the year as they came back from 24 point down to beat the Cowboys, 34-30 in Dallas.
From ESPN: A week after turning a 20-point halftime deficit into an overtime win, the Lions provided further proof they're a legitimate contender by turning a 24-point, third-quarter deficit into a 34-30 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Detroit's defense started the rally with interceptions returned for touchdowns on consecutive drives, then Stafford and Calvin Johnson took over from there, hooking up for a pair of touchdowns in the final period, including a 2-yarder for the winning points with 1:39 left.
"It's crazy how it happens," Stafford said. "When it was 27-3, we knew we had to start making plays. Once we did, we started catching fire."
Detroit is 4-0 and has won an NFL-best eight straight games. This also was its franchise-record fifth straight road win, avenging a loss here last November that had been its NFL-record 26th straight road loss.

Watch out for the Lions this year, they are surprising a lot of people.
