The Oakland Raiders travelled to Michigan today to face the Detroit Lions for only the twelfth meeting between these two historic franchises.

The Lions, coming off a win in Lambeau for the first time since 1991, had a lot of energy as the Raiders were coming off back to back losses to Pittsburgh and Minnesota.

Well, it ended in back to back to back losses for the Raiders as Detroit won 19-13 in Ford Field.

Oakland’s playoffs hopes seem very thin right now and Detroit had a 0.3% chance of making the playoffs before this game, that has to be at least 0.4% now.

Let’s take a look at five things that we learned from this interconference matchup.
