LAST WEEKโS POLL: For eleven years from October 19, 1970 to December 12,1981, the Oakland Raiders went 18-1-1 on โMonday Night Footballโ. Against what team did the Raiders suffer their only loss during that stretch?

๐ THIS TEAM IS HIGHKEY SLEPT ON
With a record of 4-1, the Lions are sitting among the best teams in the NFL right now. Despite dealing with injuries to key players and positions, the Lions have been getting the job done. They're currently up there with the top teams, with their lone loss coming against the Seattle Seahawks. Their defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA) rankings are looking good too, ranking them among the top three teams overall, with their offense performing well and their defense starting to click. The big question now is, how long will it last for?
