Lions Head to Munich on Four-Game Streak After 19-9 Win Over Dolphins

The defense has tightened too. The Lions have held their opponent to 21 points or fewer in four consecutive games, and to 17 or fewer in the last three. Rookie edge rusher Derrick Moore also recorded the first sacks of his NFL career against Miami.

New England's last outing went badly. Quarterback Drake Maye threw three interceptions in the loss to Green Bay.

What Campbell said

Lions head coach Dan Campbell warned against judging the Patriots by their record. "A real good team here. I know the record is not what is the true indication of what this team is," he said Wednesday.

He pointed to the "firepower" New England has. "They're dangerous and they're going to clean a lot of things up," Campbell said.

He has also described the Munich trip as something close to a home game. "We're not just America's (team), we're Germany's team," Campbell said in August. He added that receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has "lineage and heritage" in Germany, which "means something to us, too."

"We want to represent and we want to show you about NFL football and the way that we think it should be played and put on a show," Campbell said.

How to watch and listen

The game was available on local FOX stations. Fans could also stream local and primetime games free on their phones and tablets through the Detroit Lions website or the team's mobile app, once the game had started.
