Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and his wife dressed up as a naked man and a fast-food drive-through attendant at a teammate's Halloween party, depicting an embarrassing moment for one of the team's assistant coaches. Complete Story...
The Detroit Lions didn't set any league records this time. They simply made the Chicago Bears look bad.
Jeff Garcia suddenly had trouble protecting the football, and the Detroit Lions took full advantage.
The Washington Redskins had no choice but to be creative. Their No. 1 receiver didn't play, and the No. 2 wideout was gone by halftime. Jason Campbell had to throw to people who hadn't caught anything all season, and fullback Mike Sellers had his most productive game ever.
Another first-round pick, another wide receiver for the Lions. Detroit selected Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson on Saturday with the second overall pick in the draft, making it four out of five drafts in which the Lions took a wideout in the first round.
No, losing to the Detroit Lions does not revoke the playoff spot the Dallas Cowboys had already clinched. It just means they're in a mess of trouble heading into what Bill Parcells likes to call "the tournament."
The Detroit Lions' latest miserable season can't end soon enough for their disappointed fans. About 100 spectators left their seats midway through the second quarter of the Lions' 26-21 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and called for the firing of general manager Matt Millen as they gathered in Ford Field's atrium.
Rex Grossman wasn't the only starter pulled early in the fourth quarter, when the Chicago Bears were on their 7-yard line and trailing by a point. It was just the most obvious change.
Brett Favre became the NFL's all-time completions leader Sunday and the Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions. Listening to a dour Favre speak after the game, you wouldn't have known it.
Artose Pinner enjoyed the best game of his career against the team that cut him three months ago.
The Patriots know how to finish games. The Lions just finish themselves off. Corey Dillon scored two of his three touchdowns in the last 8:35, Detroit turned the ball over on its last three possessions and New England avoided a stunning upset with a 28-21 victory Sunday.
The NFL's worst team since 2001 might have just hit rock bottom.
Matt Leinart was admittedly awkward taking a victory knee in the waning seconds against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. "I haven't taken one in a while," he explained.
The New York Jets are getting pretty good at these suspenseful endings, complete with lots of nail biting, sweating and nervous energy throughout the stadium.
Roy Williams and Kevin Jones ended Rod Marinelli's long wait for a win.
Trailing by 14 points to start the fourth quarter against hapless Detroit, somebody on the Minnesota Vikings had to put the ball in the end zone.
With the architect of the "Greatest Show" on the other side of the turf, new St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan showed his team can win a shootout, too.
Brett Favre sprinted toward the end zone, signaled touchdown and then pumped his right fist. The 36-year-old quarterback had just become the second player in NFL history to throw 400 career touchdown passes.
Desmond Clark heard the boos that spiraled toward Rex Grossman just a few weeks ago and didn't get it. Now, the quarterback who was hailed at the end of last season is earning praise again after a difficult preseason. Grossman had his best game as a pro, and the Chicago Bears' defense silenced Detroit's Roy Williams and the Lions 34-7. Grossman set career highs with 289 yards and four touchdown passes Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks got to celebrate at Ford Field — seven months too late. On the turf where Seattle lost the Super Bowl to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Josh Brown kicked a 42-yard field goal on the last play of the game to lift the Seahawks to a 9-6 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Charles Rogers took off his Detroit Lions jersey after Thursday night's 20-13 exhibition loss to the Buffalo Bills and handed it to a fan in the stands at Ford Field.
Randy Moss and Aaron Brooks look as if they're already in midseason form. Moss caught two touchdown passes from Brooks and the Oakland Raiders opened the preseason with four straight wins for the first time since 1975, beating the Detroit Lions 21-3 Friday night.
Rod Marinelli remembers scurrying along the sideline before the national anthem, making sure the Lions were standing and holding their helmets properly. Before Marinelli knew it, his debut as a head coach at any level was over.
Former Arizona quarterback Josh McCown agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions Thursday, a move that could signal the end of Joey Harrington's run in Detroit.
The Detroit Lions signed Shaun King to a one-year contract Friday, adding quarterback depth and perhaps competition for Joey Harrington.
