Lions 45, Bengals 21, and it was not that close. Shawn Rowland threw for Lions — 17/19, 230 yards, 4 TD. Joe Burrow was steady for Bengals — 16/24, 232 yards, 3 TD, 4 INT — in a losing effort. 5 in the league in passing yards, at 77 overall. Shawn Rowland is not supposed to be doing this. On the ground: Lions 113, Bengals 23.

Giants did what they needed to, 28-20. Luke Altmyer threw for Lions — 19/40, 281 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Jaxson Dart threw for Giants — 15/29, 221 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT. A season best for Malik Nabers. On the ground: Giants 198, Lions 128.

Zoe Bell: "Detroit's pass-happy playcalling couldn't overcome Luke Altmyer's 2 interceptions; Tennessee won a game that looked like it belonged to whoever didn't blink last, and Carnell Tate's 174 yards made sure it wasn't going to be the Titans." Daniel Keller: "Tennessee matched Detroit's turnover rate and still won by 1—that's not escape velocity, that's a team that shouldn't have had to work this hard against a 3-10 roster."

Two teams, 1 points, and Titans on the right side of it. Cam Ward threw for Titans — 24/34, 286 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT. Luke Altmyer was steady for Lions — 20/36, 262 yards, 2 INT — in a losing effort. Adonai Mitchell has not had a better afternoon this season. Through the air: Titans 286, Lions 262.

Bears got it done 27-21 over Lions. Luke Altmyer threw for Lions — 20/32, 241 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT — in a losing effort. Caleb Williams was steady for Bears — 20/33, 214 yards, 2 TD. A season best for D'Andre Swift. On the ground: Bears 213, Lions 107.

Lions kept it respectable. Buccaneers still won by 10. Baker Mayfield threw for Buccaneers — 36/45, 337 yards, 2 TD. Amon-Ra St. Brown was the target for Lions — 4 catches, 91 yards, 1 TD — in a losing effort. Make it 3 consecutive games past 100 for Emeka Egbuka. Total yards: Buccaneers 451, Lions 211.

Patriots 35, Lions 7, and it was not that close. Drake Maye did the damage for Patriots — 19/26, 339 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. Garrett Wilson was the target for Patriots — 7 catches, 156 yards, 2 TD. A season best for Isiah Pacheco. Through the air: Patriots 339, Lions 100.

Minnesota's passing game overwhelmed Detroit 31-27, with Jordan Addison catching 10 passes for 154 yards and 3 touchdowns to pace the Vikings offense. J.J. McCarthy completed 22 of 40 for 257 yards and 3 scores, while Luke Altmyer's 24 of 50 for 262 yards and an interception couldn't keep pace for the Lions. Detroit had the edge in total yards 403 to 342 and rushed for 141 to Minnesota's 85, but 3 giveaways to the Vikings' 2 proved the difference. Minnesota improved to 6-1 while Detroit fell to 2-5.
