Detroit, the NFC North leaders, bring a four-game winning streak into University of Phoenix Stadium against the only remaining one-loss team in the country. The Lions beat the Dolphins with a touchdown in the final 30 seconds last weekend to complete their third straight fourth-quarter comeback.
Arizona is the only team in the NFC hotter than the Lions, as the Cards come into the battle having won five straight games. But the loss of quarterback Carson Palmer has thrust former Lion Drew Stanton into the starting role and raised questions about Arizona's status as an elite team. Detroit will try to take advantage of that adversity and take over the temporary No. 1 seed in the NFC.
