In the second game of today's doubleheader, the Detroit Lions are the favorites at home against a Seattle Seahawks team that wants to remain undefeated.

England's Jacoby Brissett) and against Miami's substitute. Despite getting off to a slow start, Jared Goff is a three-time Pro Bowler and the Lions' defense has played well – it's time to find out which NFC team is a real contender.
