## Lions Continue Road Dominance in Win Over Colts, Off to Best Season Start Since 1934
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Detroit Lions continued their impressive road dominance with a resounding 20-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The win marks the Lions’ best start to a season since 1934, when they began 6-0.
### Lions’ Road Warriors
The Lions have now won four consecutive road games, dating back to last season’s victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. This streak is particularly impressive considering that the Lions have historically struggled on the road, going 14-32-1 in their previous 47 road games before this current run.
The Lions’ success on the road this season is due in large part to their defense, which has allowed an average of just 16.3 points per game in their four road victories. The defense has also recorded 10 sacks and eight takeaways during this stretch.
### Goff and the Offense Find Rhythm
While the defense has been the backbone of the Lions’ road success, the offense has also shown signs of improvement under quarterback Jared Goff. Goff threw for 256 yards and a touchdown against the Colts, and he has now thrown for at least 250 yards in three of his four starts this season.
The Lions’ offense has also been bolstered by the emergence of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has quickly become Goff’s favorite target. St. Brown caught seven passes for 91 yards and a touchdown against the Colts, and he now leads the Lions with 31 receptions and 448 receiving yards this season.
### Colts’ Struggles Continue
The Colts, meanwhile, continue to struggle this season, falling to 1-3-1 with the loss to the Lions. The Colts’ offense has been particularly anemic, scoring just 16 points per game this season. Quarterback Matt Ryan has thrown for just 933 yards and four touchdowns with five interceptions in four games.
The Colts’ defense has also been underwhelming, allowing an average of 25.5 points per game this season. The Colts have also struggled to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks, recording just five sacks in four games.
### Outlook for Lions and Colts
The Lions will look to continue their momentum next week when they host the New England Patriots. The Patriots are coming off a bye week and will be looking to improve to 2-3 on the season.
The Colts, meanwhile, will have a tough task ahead of them when they travel to Denver to face the Broncos next week. The Broncos are 2-2 this season and are coming off a 32-23 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
