The Detroit Lions captured their fourth victory in a row, beating the Bengals in Cincinnati by a 37-24 margin on Sunday evening. It marked the third straight week the Lions vanquished an AFC North opponent, following wins over the Ravens and Browns.
The Detroit Lions are predicted to go all-in at the NFL trade deadline with a blockbuster deal for Bengals edge-rusher Trey Hendrickson.
The Bengals have lost three games in a row for the third time since the start of last season after falling to Detroit at Paycor Stadium Oct. 5.

ESPN's Bill Barnwell wrote that among offers that make sense at the 2025 NFL trade deadline would be a deal sending Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson with a 2026 fourth-round pick to the Detroit Lions for a 2026 second-round pick.
Barnwell predicts that the Bengals will trade Hendrickson and a 2026 fourth-round pick for a 2026 second-round pick. It's a huge jump in draft capital, though the Lions' second-rounder will likely fall in the 50s rather than in the 30s or 40s of the draft.
The Detroit Lions have three obvious positions that could be upgraded ahead of the NFL trade deadline. But will they pull the trigger?
