 Lions Choke Away Upset Bid to Dallas in 28-27 Loss
Photo Courtesy NFL.com With its season on the line, the Detroit Lions were in a tough position on Sunday.  After dropping 4 straight games and falling out of second place in the wild card, it really wasn't a choice to win, it was a necessity.  Going up against the Dallas Cowboys made that necessity look impossible, and even I said that a win wouldn't happen all last week. ...

Published 12/10/2007 by Big Al at The Wayne Fontes Experience
... this Lions team would follow the same tradition as many teams before them: You can always find a grand way to lose. And lose they did.

Despite Not Playing, Redskins Had to Enjoy Sunday's Results - and the lions suck..

Dallas 28-Detroit 27: This was huge on two levels. One, the Lions fall to 6-7 ... the same record as Washington. The Redskins beat the Lions earlier this year, so they like their chances in a tie. Detroit also now has 7 losses in the conference, which could come up huge. Also in a weird twist, the Redskins really would love the Cowboys to keep winning. If Dallas can wrap up home field ...
