A little over two games into the 2022 NFL season, and it seems like Dan Campbell’s Lions cannot be stopped on offense. A dominant offensive line pushing defenders around in the running game and a feisty Amon-Ra St. Brown cruised to at least 35 points against the Eagles and Commanders. At this rate, Detroit certainly looks like it has some staying power over the long haul.
On Sunday on the road against the Vikings (-6), the Lions essentially picked up right where they left off. When Jamaal Williams took it into the endzone for an easy two-yard touchdown, the Lions also put themselves in some extremely exclusive company:
Detroit keeps chugging 🚂
The Lions have now scored a touchdown in 16 straight quarters. It ties a franchise record and is the longest active streak in the NFL.

I mean, I’m almost in shock! Do you mean to tell me offenses with Josh Allena and Patrick Mahomes haven’t scored a touchdown in 16 straight quarters, but … the Lions have?
Don’t look now, but they can technically tie the NFL record today:
Make it 17 straight quarters with a TD https://t.co/iDTr8oa6uM

Folks, it might be time to buy into what Campbell and Co. are cooking in Detroit. This team’s fun and their offense seemingly can’t be stopped.
