Ford Field is a domed stadium -- weather isn't a real gameplay factor there.
Where They Stand

Strengths: defense (2nd), special teams (2nd) and linebackers (4th).
Weaknesses: tight ends (31st), offensive line (31st) and offense (30th).
Coaching: Kevin O'Connell lands about where his rosters' grades say he should, over 74 games, 19th in the league.
Offense — better on paper: The offense's players grade 55 out of 100, but on the field that side has played better than 11% of the league.
Defense — better on the field: On the field, the defense has played better than 95% of the league, ahead of a player grade of 57 out of 100.
This season: 6-0. Last time out, they beat Indianapolis Colts 16-10.
Since preseason: Up 3.3 points since the preseason, mostly because its coach's record improved and its offense played worse than before (better than 17% of the league, now better than 11%).
Written from this club's own numbers: its grade, the offense, defense, special teams and coach that make it up, its last games, its division, and its depth chart. Which facts show up depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. The site builds the sentences from those numbers. A chatbot does not write them.
