The Denver Broncos (7-6) are one of the red-hot teams in the NFL lately and will look to produce yet another upset against the Detroit Lions (9-4) on Saturday.
The Lions are amid a skid, losing two of their past three games, including the bruising 28-13 defeat to the Chicago Bears last week, but they remain in the driver's seat and still hold on to a firm grasp atop the NFC North.
Dan Campbell's side will now look to return to winning ways in Week 15, but Detroit will have a slightly shorter week when they welcome the suddenly surging Broncos to town.
The Broncos have surged into the playoff hunt. After a sluggish start to the season, Denver have posted a 4-1 record in their last five games and are just one game behind the AFC West-leading Chiefs. In Week 14, they delivered a 24-7 demolition job of the LA Chargers.
