Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch already has his own line of jerseys, thanks to fellow safety Kerby Joseph. He vibrations are very high for Dan Campbell’s team after their impressive road win against the Green Bay Packers. The little adversity the Lions faced during their dominant victory was Expulsion of Brian Branch and subsequent reversal from Packers fans.

In a funny moment off the field, Joseph revealed to Detroit Free Press reporter Dave Birkett who is handing out t-shirts of the safety’s viral moment in Green Bay to the entire team.

The Detroit Lions are legitimate Super Bowl contenders

While Joseph’s funny decision hasn’t become commercial or spread to the public, one thing the public already knows is that this Lions team can win the franchise’s first Super Bowl title.

Dan Campbell’s team hasn’t lost a game since Week 2, riding a six-game winning streak. And many of those victories have been dominant, like the Impressive beating by the Lions over the Dallas Cowboys.

Last week’s win against the Packers puts Detroit in sole control of the NFC North with wins over its two biggest divisional threats, Minnesota and Green Bay. The Lions are also now up a half-game in the entire conference. Its biggest competition currently for the single seed is Resurgent Washington Commanders.

Despite all this good news, many of Detroit’s games going forward are not guaranteed wins. Starting with Sunday night’s showdown at Houston against a talented Texans team.

After that comes four very winnable games against Jacksonville, Indianapolis and then at home against Chicago and Green Bay. Followed by four difficult games against Buffalo, in Chicago and then against San Francisco and Minnesota.

A few losses to close the season could be the difference between Detroit finishing first in the NFC North (and the entire conference) and third in its division.

Fortunately, the Lions are on top behind a legitimate MVP candidate in Jared Goff and the highest scoring offense in the NFL. Defense has also been a strength of the team, ranking sixth overall in points allowed. Branch has been a key player on that side of the ball all this year, ranking third in the league in interceptions.

While it’s fun for Joseph to make fun of Branch’s viral moment, the Lions will need the second-year safety to not have a moment like last Sunday again. That could be the difference between an unprecedented moment in NFL history in February and the Lions once again watching the Super Bowl from home.
