Every team has an off game, and it looked that way for the Detroit Lions until the team roared back for a 26–23 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

“They fought [and] we knew they would,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters afterward about the Texans’ challenge. “They were ready to go, and man, they gave it everything. That was a hard-fought game, and we had to fight our way back in there.”
