Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions spent three months scoring at a historic rate.

Now with the weather changing outside, they're winning with old school football, too.

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for two scores, David Montgomery added a third TD run and Detroit's increasingly stingy defence kept the Indianapolis Colts out of the end zone on Sunday, leading the Lions to their ninth straight win, 24-6.

"This is, whatever it is, 10 quarters without allowing a touchdown and the three last games in the second half we're not allowing it," Lions coach Dan Campbell said.

"We talk about it all the time — limiting points, play physical style, shut down the run — we were able to do that."

They've been doing it all season in their greatest run in decades, but have been more effective lately and it has shown.

Detroit improved to 10-1 for the first time since 1934, their inaugural season in the Motor City. They own the league's longest active winning streak and are 6-0 on the road this season.

Gibbs finished with 21 carries for 90 yards on a day Goff went 26 of 36 with 269 yards and no touchdowns. And for the third straight week, all against AFC South foes, the Lions had a second-half shutout.

"If you can win on the road, you're normally a pretty damn good team," Campbell said.

"And we can win on the road."

Kansas City are also 10-1 after they too had success on their travels, winning 30-27 at Carolina.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns, Spencer Shrader kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired and the Chiefs beat the Panthers to reach double-digit wins for the 10th straight season.

Noah Gray caught two TD passes as Kansas City bounced back from last week's 30-21 loss at Buffalo and won at the buzzer yet again in a season of narrow escapes. DeAndre Hopkins also had a touchdown catch for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, who scored on their first five possessions.

Eight of the Chiefs' wins have come by a one-score margin, and this was their second straight victory decided on the last play. They beat Denver two weeks ago by blocking a would-be game-winning field goal.

Elsewhere, the Broncos, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Tennessee, Tampa Bay and Dallas also triumphed on their travels, while there were home wins for Miami, Green Bay and Seattle.
