The Lions now have sole possession of first place in the NFC North after knocking off the Vikings 16-13 on Thanksgiving.

And boy, 49ers fans still wish they had someone like now-Lions wide receiver Anquan Boldin — 69 yards and Detroit’s lone touchdown — back on the roster.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford’s numbers were very workmanlike, which is fine when considering how well the Lions defense shut down Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford and the Minnesota offense. The Vikings were a mere 2-of-10 on third down, and that made all the difference for Detroit.

The Lions might be a nice sleeper team in the postseason this year if they can keep this momentum rolling. They visit the Saints next week, and we shouldn’t expect another defensive showdown then.
