Two legitimate Super Bowl hopefuls go head-to-head under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football in Week 6, as the Chiefs welcome the red-hot Lions to Arrowhead Stadium.

The Lions have been on a tear, stringing together four straight wins since their opening-week stumble. Jared Goff and co. have been roaring all season, sitting comfortably among the league’s elite with an offense that can light up the scoreboard in a hurry. They smashed a hapless Bengals’ outfit 37-24 on the road last time out.

The Chiefs enter this primetime clash on short rest following a tough 31-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night. They find themselves in need of a serious reset. Their Week 5 outing was marred by mental lapses and self-inflicted wounds that turned a winnable game into a frustrating loss.

Andy Reid and company will need to tighten the screws if they want to avoid another slip-up against one of the NFL’s most complete squads. For Kansas City, the margin for error will be razor-thin.

To even their record at 3-3, the reigning AFC champs must cut down on mistakes, stay sharp, and bring their trademark swagger back to life against a Detroit team that’s playing like it has something to prove.
