Don’t look now, but the surging 7-6 Broncos trail the Chiefs by a single game in the AFC West as they head to the Motor City to play the NFC North-leading 9-4 Lions in Week 15 action.

Several issues have surfaced since Detroit got humbled 38-6 by the Ravens in Week 7. Their 4-3 record since Week 7 has been highlighted by a gross propensity to play down to the level of the competition, largely thanks to turnover issues and a worsening rush defense.

The Lions’ success is also predicated mainly on Jared Goff’s play. The first half of the season saw the veteran pivot’s stock in the MVP conversation rise. However, his recent play has been plagued by turnovers, with Goff committing five picks and four fumbles in the last four outings.

The only thing that should be of slight concern to the Broncos is how arguably fortuitous they’ve been in their recent 6-1 run. The Broncos defense has created 18 turnovers in that span, recovering 11. That recovery rate, while most likely unsustainable, has helped significantly in their ascension.

But don’t take anything away from Denver’s odds-defying resurgence. Sean Payton’s team hasn’t conceded more than 22 points in their last eight contests and is holding opponents to just 16.0 points per game during that span.

Russell Wilson is enjoying his best spell since joining the Broncos at the start of last season. If you omit his poor outing against the Texans, Denver’s only loss in the last seven, Wilson has thrown 10 touchdown passes and one pick.

While the Broncos will invariably play with the same level of desperation that has spurred their recent success, the Lions need a spirited home performance to prove they remain in the NFC contenders’ conversation. Expect Goff and company to play more like they did in the early weeks and come away with an all-important victory, covering the spread in the process.

Jahmyr Gibbs has been influential in Detroit’s success thus far, rushing for at least 54 yards in seven of his previous nine contests, including three in a row. He is up against a run defense that, despite its recent improvements, is still the worst in the NFL.

Denver allows an average of 144 yards on the ground per game. They’ve shored things up in the previous two, allowing 76 against the Chargers and 89 versus the Texans. Unfortunately, those paltry numbers don’t hold much weight, considering they have the 26th and 25th-ranked run defenses, respectively.

The Broncos allowed 158 yards per contest in the previous three games, much more representative of the rest of their campaign.

Amon-Ra St. Brown won’t be pleased with his two recent performances, in which he amassed just 70 yards receiving, a total comprised of a 49-yard performance against the Saints and a miserly 21-yard return last week against the Bears.

The wide receiver will be desperate for a rebound performance, and Ford Field offers the perfect opportunity to achieve exactly that. St. Brown has saved his best for the friendly confines of Detroit’s indoor field, where he has notched at least 77 yards in each of his five contests. Four of those games saw him amass at least 95 yards.

While the Broncos pass defense has improved in recent weeks, they still have the 24th-ranked pass defense, allowing 233.4 yards per contest. Look for St. Brown to continue his home dominance.
