Looking at the rest of the current top teams in the NFL and their records against teams that currently hold a winning record:

Eagles (9-1) are 4-0
Ravens (8-3) are 4-2
Chiefs (7-3) are 3-2
49ers (7-3) are 3-2
Jaguars (7-3) are 1-3
Cowboys (7-3) are 0-2
Dolphins (7-3) are 0-3

Part of the Lions's low record against winning teams is due to a weaker NFC North this season (although Vikings currently hold a winning record and Lions have yet to play them). But it still stands that the Lions have had a relatively weaker schedule this year, and have not defeated a team with a current winning record since Week 1.

This stands to change with upcoming games against the Vikings (6-5) and Cowboys (7-3), as well as possibly the Broncos and Saints (5-5) depending on how their records turn out.

Broncos are 3-2 against teams with a winning record.

But we're also 2-3 against teams with a losing record

So make of that however you will
