Looking at the rest of the current top teams in the NFL and their records against teams that currently hold a winning record:

• Eagles (9-1) are 4-0

• Ravens (8-3) are 4-2

• Chiefs (7-3) are 3-2

• 49ers (7-3) are 3-2

• Jaguars (7-3) are 1-3

• Cowboys (7-3) are 0-2

• Dolphins (7-3) are 0-3

Part of the Lions’s low record against winning teams is due to a weaker NFC North this season (although Vikings currently hold a winning record and Lions have yet to play them). But it still stands that the Lions have had a relatively weaker schedule this year, and have not defeated a team with a current winning record since Week 1.

This stands to change with upcoming games against the Vikings (6-5) and Cowboys (7-3), as well as possibly the Broncos and Saints (5-5) depending on how their records turn out.
