LIONS' RALLY IN MINNESOTA WAS THE BEST YET.
Sunday marked Detroit's fifth win, with all coming after the Lions' win probability dropped below 20 percent in the game.
Against the Vikings, it actually dropped below 0.1 percent, easily the lowest in any of the five.

This is the confidence level the Lions have in Stafford. They believe he can win any game, as long as there is time on the clock.
Lots of teams will say that about their quarterback, but Stafford has the numbers and history to back it up.

ROBERTS MAKES CLAYTON'S ALL-PRO TEAM.
Andre Roberts has quietly been excellent returning both punts and kicks this season, earning him the nod on John Clayton's ballot at the midway point. Midseason All-Pro team (EspnInsider).

Jim Caldwell said he believes the Lions are developing late-game mental toughness by going through it every week.
Said at this point they believe if there is time left they have a chance.

THIS TIME, LIONS ON RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.
Per ESPN Stats & Info, the last time the Lions trailed in the fourth quarter in each of their first nine games of a season was 2008, when they infamously became the first team in NFL history to go 0-16.

FEW QBS SHINED LIKE MATTHEW STAFFORD.
Stafford's numbers weren't off the charts, but he overcame a slow start against a very tough opponent to win the game late.
Only one signal-caller posted a higher QBR this week. Week 9's best, worst QBs.
