The Lions are doing a lot of things right in the Superdome on Saturday night.

They have limited possessions by going on two long scoring drives. They have prevented big plays from the Saints offense and forced two turnovers.

Detroit leads 14-10 in New Orleans with two touchdown passes from Matthew Stafford. The Saints have only had four possessions, and they’ve fumbled the ball twice.

The Lions have a long way to go to win. But they have the right gameplan and are in great position to pull off a big upset.
