The Detroit Lions nailed their third consecutive win on Sunday (Nov. 20) with a road game against the New York Giants. Now, the nation is taking note.

CBS Sports released their Week 11 report card with grades for each team and gave the Lions a B+. What's even better is what they said about the team.

"The Lions are now on a three-game win streak, which officially makes them one of the hottest teams in the NFL, and they've been showing a lot of improvement each week," they stated. "Jamaal Williams was the offensive star of the game with three touchdowns on the day. Defensively, the Lions forced three turnovers that they were able to convert into 14 points and that ended up making a huge difference in the win." They gave the Giants a D, stating, "This was an embarrassing loss for the Giants. The offense was shut down by a Lions defense that has been one of the worst in the NFL this year, and a big reason for that was because Daniel Jones seemed to take a step back. Jones, who hadn't thrown an interception since Week 3, threw two against the Lions."
