Two first-place NFC teams meet Sunday, with the Lions (4-1) looking for a fourth straight win and the Bucs (3-1) trying to take four of five to begin a season for just the sixth time in franchise history.
The Bucs have been a surprise package in the NFC South, winning some crucial games to lead a division that figures to be tight yet again in 2023. Meanwhile, the Lions are benefiting from a weak set of opponents in the NFC North, with the Packers, Bears and Vikings all posting losing records so far.
