Lions are the best at putting points on the board often

The Lions have been putting plenty of points on the board this season. They currently lead the league with 33.4 points per game.

On a similar note, they are also putting points on the board at a high rate. According to Pro Football Focus, the Lions lead the league with a 35.0% touchdown success rate this season. In other words, the Lions have scored a touchdown on 35 percent of their offensive drives this season.

 

In Week 8 against the Titans, the Lions scored on 50 percent (6-of-12) of their offensive drives in their 52-14 win. And that was with emptying their bench in the fourth quarter. Detroit scored 35 points in the first half and added two more touchdowns in the third quarter.

As long as the Lions continue to be successful on offense, their Super Bowl hopes will only get higher. This could really be the year.
