Season Leaders

Detroit Lions

  • Passing: Jared Goff – 1,187 yards, 12 TDs, 2 INTs
  • Rushing: Jahmyr Gibbs – 325 yards, 4 TDs
  • Receiving: Amon-Ra St. Brown – 407 yards, 6 TDs

Kansas City Chiefs

  • Passing: Patrick Mahomes – 1,257 yards, 8 TDs, 2 INTs
  • Rushing: Patrick Mahomes – 190 yards, 3 TDs (team leader in rushing)
  • Receiving: Tyquan Thornton – 272 yards, 3 TDs

The Lions have balanced production with Goff, Gibbs, and St. Brown leading the way, while Kansas City leans heavily on Mahomes, who not only leads in passing but also in rushing yards.


Key Storylines to Watch

  • Mahomes Carrying the Load: With the Chiefs’ running backs struggling, Patrick Mahomes has become the team’s top rusher—an unusual situation that puts extra pressure on him against Detroit’s aggressive defense.
  • Lions’ Offensive Balance: Jared Goff’s efficiency paired with Jahmyr Gibbs’ rushing ability and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s big-play production makes Detroit’s offense one of the most well-rounded in the league.
  • Arrowhead Factor: Kansas City is desperate to get back to .500, and Arrowhead Stadium remains one of the toughest environments for visiting teams.

Prediction

This matchup has shootout potential with two quarterbacks capable of lighting up the scoreboard. The Lions enter with momentum, but the Chiefs’ home-field advantage and Mahomes’ playmaking ability could tilt things their way. Expect a tight game likely decided in the fourth quarter.


Final Word

Catch the Detroit Lions vs. Kansas City Chiefs live on NBC at 8:20 PM ET from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. With playoff implications and two explosive offenses on display, this Sunday Night Football battle is a must-watch for NFL fans.
