November 12, 2023



The Detroit Lions will travel to Los Angeles, California to face the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in week 10 of the NFL season with the game scheduled to kickoff at 4:05 PM ET on Sunday afternoon and will air regionally on CBS.

Detroit is one of the best teams in the NFC this season and has a 1.5-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings for 1st place in the NFC North, a division they have never won, however, they have looked like the best team in the division all season. Their offense has played a pivotal role in the success that the Lions have had this season as they are rank 9th in the league in points per game with an average of 25 points per game and their running game has been one of the best in the league as they are averaging 131.38 rushing yards per game which is the 6th most in the NFL. The Detroit Lions have one of the best 1-2 pouches at running back with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery who have combined for 784 rushing yards and eight touchdowns this season.

The Los Angeles Chargers started the season off 0-2 but have since won four of their last six games and are on a two-game winning streak following last week’s 27-6 win on the road against the New York Jets, however, they have only won one game this season against a team with a winning record which occurred in week 3 on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. The four losses for the Chargers have come against the Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and Tennessee Titans with three of the four being above-average teams this season and the Chargers will have another tough test to finally get over the hump of defeating a team with a winning record when they host the Detroit Lions on Sunday in week 10 of the NFL season.
