WEEK 12: DETROIT LIONS AT NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS


A TRIBUTE TO MR. FORD

William Clay Ford(1925-2014)Detroit Lions

Owner and Chairman, 1964-2014

Beginning Week 1 this season, the Detroit Lions introduced a special jersey patch displaying the letters “WCF” in honor of the franchise’s late owner, Mr. William Clay Ford. The patch will appear on the le� shoulder of all Lions players’ jerseys for the 2014 season as a tribute to one of the NFL’s original statesmen. Mr. Ford passed away on March 9 at the age of 88 and owned and directed the Lions franchise during a span of 50 years. Through fi ve decades, his unwavering leadership provided stability to an organization, its fans and the community when most professional sports franchises cycled through numerous ownership changes and franchise moves. Mr. Ford remained steadfastly committed to ensuring the Lions were always a vital component to the Detroit community and the state of Michigan.

THE NFL REMEMBERS MR. FORD NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell: “For fi ve decades, Mr. Ford’s passion for the Lions, Detroit, and the NFL was the foundation of one of the NFL’s historic franchises. As an NFL owner, Mr. Ford helped bring the NFL through enormous periods of change and growth, always guided by his commitment to what was best for the NFL and his beloved Lions. All of us in the NFL extend our heartfelt sympathy to Mr. Ford’s wife Martha, Bill Ford, Jr. and the entire Ford family.” Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones: “I‘ve literally been at owners (meetings) when an owner came up and met Mr. Ford for the fi rst time, and the owner was a new owner in the NFL. I was standing right with him and the owner talked about how his granddad had been a Ford dealer in Texas, in the depths of Texas, and he literally teared up when he talked about what Ford, what the brand and what the individuals stood for and had stood for in his evolving to the point that he could buy an NFL football team. He actually teared up and showed that kind of emotion, and that was (formerMinnesota Vikings owner) Red McCombs.” Late Buff alo Bills Owner Ralph Wilson, Jr: “I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bill Ford. He was a man of great integrity who loved his family and his Lions. Bill was well respected within our league as well as the city of Detroit and his contributions to both were numerous. We have all lost a good friend with his passing. My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to his family and many friends.” Lions Hall of Fame TE and Assistant Director of Pro Personnel Charlie Sanders: “I’ve always just enjoyed being around him just to watch him laugh. He was a cheerful owner, you know, upbeat, always positive. I have a lot of memories, but when I think of him I just think of a man that was very fair and enjoyed people and enjoyed people that had the same desires that he had. Most of those are centered around the Detroit Lions organization.” Former Lions WR Herman Moore: “Every single game that he was in the locker room, we at least spoke, or he would be in the locker room. I appreciated that from our owner. That’s a real moment that fans don’t know about — the commitment that he would show to us players.”


As the Lions’ new head coach, Jim Caldwell brings 37 years of coaching experience to Detroit, including 13 previous years in the NFL and 24 years on the college level. Two Super Bowl titles and three appearances in the NFL’s championship game highlight his coaching resume, which includes leading the Indianapolis Colts to an AFC Championship and a berth in Super Bowl XLVI as head coach following the 2009 season.COACHING OVERVIEW

Hired as head coach for the Detroit Lions January 14, 2014.

Coached in three Super Bowls with Indianapolis (XLI and XLIV) and Baltimore (XLVII) and won two Super Bowl titles (Indianapolis and Baltimore).

In fi rst year as head coach for Indianapolis (2009), he won the AFC Championship and led the franchise to Super Bowl XLIV. He became the fi rst NFL coach to win his fi rst 14 games and the fi � h rookie head coach to reach the Super Bowl.

One of four head coaches to produce 24+ regular-season wins and a Super Bowl berth in their fi rst two career seasons as head coach.

Holds a 26-22 (.542) regular-season record in three seasons as an NFL head coach, including two seasons with at least 10 wins.

Led the Colts to two consecutive AFC South division titles in 2009 and 2010.

In eight of the 10 seasons Caldwell coached in Indianapolis, the Colts ranked in the Top-10 in total off ense eight times and six times in the Top-5.

From 2003-09, Caldwell was the Colts quarterbacks coach and was also promoted to assistant head coach and associate head coach during that time. He worked closely with QB Peyton Manning and the team’s quarterbacks. During that span, Indianapolis set NFL records with seven consecutive seasons fi nishing with 11+ wins (6, Dallas 1976-81) and 12+ victories (4, Dallas, 1992-95).

Two of his quarterbacks, Manning (Super Bowl XLI) and Ravens QB Joe Flacco (Super Bowl XLVII) were named Super Bowl MVPs following their teams’ respective championship runs.

Led the Ravens off ense to a 5-2 record a� er taking over as off ensive coordinator late in the 2012 season as the team averaged 400.6 yards per game during that span.

ASSEMBLING HIS TEAMIn his fi rst season in Detroit, Caldwell wasted no time put-ting together his coaching staff . Headlining that search were the additions of defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and of-fensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, each of whom have won a Super Bowl with Baltimore and New Orleans, respectively.Combined, six of the 10 new Lions assistant coaches have won a Super Bowl championship.

With a win in Week 10, Caldwell earned the most wins through nine games for a Lions head coach in his fi rst season with the club since the team moved to Detroit in 1934. He surpassed the six wins through nine games garnered by Dutch Clark in 1937 (6-3), Gus Henderson in 1939 (6-3) and Buddy Parker in 1951 (6-2-1).

Since the franchise originally started in Portsmouth (Ohio) in 1930, Caldwell’s 7-2 record is second-best for a Lions head coach in his fi rst year with the club behind Potsy Clark in 1931 (8-1) when the team was the Portsmouth Spartans.

For Caldwell, this marks the third time in his four seasons as an NFL head coach that he won six or more games in the fi rst nine games of the season (9-0, 2009; 6-3, 2010).

He’ll lead by making people accountable and by being a role model on and off the fi eld. And with his attention to detail and history of developing quarterbacks, (Matthew) Staff ord is going to fl ourish just like Peyton Manning did with us in Indianapolis.” Baltimore Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome: “I believe it would be diffi cult to fi nd anyone with the Ravens who is more respected than Jim Caldwell. That includes players, coaches and other staff members. He earned that because of the person he is and his extensive knowledge about football, including the keys to winning and his ability to teach all of that. Personally, it is a privilege to know him, and it was an honor to work with him.”

WIN THE QUARTERTen games through the season the Lions fi nd themselves in another familiar situation: 1-1 in the quarter following a tough loss. In the two previous losses the Lions endured, the team was able to bounce back against their upcoming opponent and avoid losing back to back games for the fi rst time under Head Coach Jim Caldwell. The message Caldwell sent to his players was one that preached a mantra of, ‘Fix and forget.’

Caldwell on if the message to the players a� er the loss to Arizona is to have a short memory: “I think there’s no question about it. There’s nothing you can do about that game. We don’t dwell on it, but we do look at where we are, we do go through the game and point out our mistakes with brutal honesty. We don’t short-change it, we talk to them directly. You’ve got to get those things fi xed, things that you can get fi xed, you’ve got to get them fi xed. You’ve got to get them fi xed in a hurry otherwise you’re going to see them again week a� er week.”

With four out of the remaining six games on the Lions’ schedule being between divisional opponents and one against the AFC-leading Patriots, the Lions understand that no game is bigger than the next. Caldwell’s emphasis and belief in winning each quarter of the season has trickled down to the players and leaves an encouraging feeling within the locker room.

Caldwell on winning the season quarters: “The fi rst game of the season we won, the second game of the season we lost. We were at 1-1 in the fi rst quarter and the guys were able to bounce back. They had to bounce back against a very good football team in the fi rst quarter, that was Green Bay. So, we’re going to have to get ourselves in position to bounce back against a very good football team in New England.”

CB Rashean Mathis on having most of the season le� to play: “Exactly, at the end of the day this still counts as one, whether we won or lost it. Unfortunately we lost it today so it’s just one loss. We still control our own destiny. We still have a lot of games ahead of us.”

As Detroit sets its focus in on a trip to New England to face the Patriots this Sunday, the Lions will look to bounce back, led by their quarterback Matthew Staff ord. Staff ord addressed the need to start faster in upcoming games and acknowledged that it starts with Week 12 in Foxborough.

Staff ord on bouncing back a� er the loss to Arizona: “It’s one week, it’s one game. We just have to fi nd a way to get better. We’ll come back, look at the tape and get ready for the next one. Win, lose or draw, that’s our motto every week.”

WHAT TO WATCH FOR


RESTOCKING ON OFFENSEOne of the many lessons learned by the Detroit Lions this season was how to win with some of the team’s top performers out with injuries.

The Lions have not had the majority of their starting lineup on off ense since Week 5 vs. Buff alo. However, over the past six weeks Detroit has seen new faces emerge as play makers, and now the challenge becomes implementing the regular starters back into the mix.

Off ensively, the Lions have missed weapons such as top WR Calvin Johnson and the trio of tight ends including Eric Ebron, Joseph Fauria and Brandon Pettigrew for multiple weeks combined. But as the schedule hits mid-November, Detroit is fi nally getting their off ensive pieces back, just in time for a run at the playoff s.

Caldwell on having four tight ends healthy: “It gives you more options. We’ve been in a situation the last few weeks where we’ve been a bit limited. Typically, you go in with three, sometimes with four depending upon your needs and who you’re playing. It gives us some good options of guys.”

During the team’s four-game winning streak prior to Arizona, the Lions saw players such as WR Golden Tate and RB Theo Riddick step in to more prominent off ensive roles. From Weeks 5 through 10, Tate caught 42 passes for 592 yards and three touchdowns, while Riddick made big plays on Detroit’s fi nal drives in comeback wins in Weeks 9 and 10.

However, in the team’s most recent loss at Arizona, the Lions took a step backwards off ensively and struggled to get the ball into the hands of their go-to guys. The loss against the Cardinals served as a reminder of how this team still needs to gel off ensively, particularly when it matters most late in the season. However, Off ensive Coordinator Joe Lombardi sees this as a very good problem to have.

Lombardi on how the off ense changes now that the tight ends are starting to get healthy: “I think the receiving abilities that Eric (Ebron) and Joe (Fauria) have, getting them back opens up some things in the off ense. Those guys have looked healthy this week so more players that can do some things.”

The Lions have the next six weeks to build chemistry off ensively, but the team will have to do it on the fl y. The pieces are there according to Johnson, it’s now just a matter of putting the right players in the right place and executing.

Johnson on what the off ense needs to do better: “Really, it boils down to execution. Whether it’s a penalty here, all of that’s a part of execution and it’s a broad term, I guess you could say, but that’s really what it boils down to. Like I just said, when our defense is able to 14, we have to be able to put up some points and win those games.”

STARTING AND STOPPING THE RUN GAMEDetroit’s defense was as dominant as it has been all season against the Cardinals, despite allowing two early scores in the fi rst quarter. Led by the defensive line, the defense allowed Arizona to rush for only 46 yards. By doing so, the Lions now have only allowed just 688 yards on the ground this season through 10 games, which is the lowest total by the club in the fi rst 10 games of a season since at least 1940.

In a game where the Lions defense allowed very few rushing yards, the team also saw an emergence of their own rushing game. In Week 11 the Lions rushed for a season-high 98 yards with RB Joique Bell tallying 85 of those yards, as Bell seemed to hit his stride against a stout Cardinals defense.

Caldwell on why Bell was successful during the Arizona game: “I think the last couple of weeks he’s been setting the tone. He’s a reckless runner, he’s got power, he’s deceptively elusive, and I think he does a good job. He wants the ball in his hands and he’s been able to make some great runs and make some tough catches when he’s had to. He did a nice job on the screen so I think he’s performing well.”

Bell’s 33-yard rush in the fi rst quarter at Arizona (11/16) was the second-longest rush of his career, behind only his 67-yard rush vs. Indianapolis December 2, 2012. Bell’s 33-yard rush was also the team’s longest rush of the season and longest since RB Reggie Bush’s 39-yard run vs. Tampa Bay November 24, 2013. He recorded rushes of 33 and 21 yards against the Cardinals, marking the second time in his career he has registered two 20+-yard rushing attempts in his career (26, 22t vs. Houston 11/22/12).

Bell’s tough running has elevated his teammates’ play off ensively, but when asked what was working for him against the Cardinals, Bell chose the humble response and focused rather on the larger focus of the off ense.

Bell on what was working for him against the Cardinals: “Nothing. I don’t know what the personal stats are, but I know we need to pick it up and start executing better. The defense played a major job. We started slow, the defense came back up and in the second half shut them out. Off ensively we have to do something.”


LIONS BY THE NUMBERS1

The Lions currently boast the League’s No. 1 overall defense as they have limited opponents to only 290.3 total yards per game. Including this week, the Lions have held this mark for the past eight weeks, and they are the only team holding opponents to fewer than 300 yards per game.

5.5DE Ezekiel Ansah has picked up where he le� off in 2013 as he leads the team in sacks through Week 11 with 5.5. In Week 6 at Minnesota (10/12), Ansah recorded a career-high 2.5 sacks as the team fi nished with eight total sacks in the game.

10With 10 tackles in Week 11 at Arizona (11/16), LB DeAndre Levy has now reached 10+ tackles in seven games this season. His previous high for 10+ tackles in a season was four in 2011.

11RB Theo Riddick caught the game-winning touchdown pass in Week 10 vs. Miami (11/9) on an 11-yard strike from QB Matthew Staff ord to complete the Lions’ 20-16 come-from-behind win. Through 11 games, Riddick is tied for second among running backs with three receiving touchdowns.

12LB Josh Bynes and CB Cassius Vaughn both picked off passes in Week 11 at Arizona, as the Lions currently are tied for sixth in interceptions with 12.

15Thus far in his career, QB Matthew Staff ord has led the Lions to 15 victories when trailing or tied in the fourth quarter or overtime. He has six career game-winning touchdown passes with less than one minute to play in fourth quarter (franchise record) and six a� er the two-minute warning.

26The Lions defense has recorded 26.0 sacks so far in 2014, which rank 10th in the NFL. Ansah leads the team with 5.5 sacks.

32DT Ndamukong Suh (32 sacks, 72 games) recorded two sacks in Week 6 at Minnesota (10/12) and became the Lions all-time leader in sacks by a defensive tackle. DT Shaun Rogers previously held the Lions record for career sacks by DTs with 29 (98 games).

33RB Joique Bell dashed for a 33-yard run in Week 11 at Arizona (11/16), which marked the team’s longest rush of the season and longest since RB Reggie Bush’s 39-yard run vs. Tampa Bay last season.

68.8The Lions have allowed just 68.8 rushing yards per game this season, which is on pace to set the team’s all-time single season record for opponent rush yards per game (82.3 yds/g in 1970).

70In his 70th-career game, Staff ord’s game-winning TD pass to Riddick, his fourth game-winning TD pass in the fi nal 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, tied for the most in the Super Bowl era. He now shares the mark with six players: Steve Bartkowski, Drew Bledsoe, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Joe Ferguson, and Tommy Kramer, all of whom started at least 100 regular-season games.

75With fi ve total touchdowns in 2014, WR Calvin Johnson will reach 75 total touchdowns for his career and join Hall of Fame RB Barry Sanders (109) as the only Lions players to record 75 career total touchdowns.

87.2With 113 career games, Johnson holds the NFL all-time record for receiving yards per game. His 59 yards against the Cardinals (11/16) moved his career average to 87.2 yards per game (9,848).

100WR Golden Tate registered 154 yards vs. New Orleans (10/19), 151 yards at Atlanta (10/26) and 109 vs. Miami (11/9), marking the fi rst time in his career he has registered 100+-yards in three-straight games.

120In the team’s 22-21 comeback victory in Week 8 at Atlanta (10/26), Staff ord threw two touchdown passes and reached 120 for his career, surpassing Hall of Fame QB Bobby Layne (118) for the most career passing touchdowns in franchise history. His current total stands at 122.

447Tate leads the League in third-down receiving yards with 447, as well as third-down receptions with 25.

606In his return a� er missing three games due to injury, Johnson grabbed seven receptions for 113 yards and one touchdown against the Dolphins (11/9). He moved his career total to 601 and became the second player in team history with 600 career receptions, joining WR Herman Moore (670). His current total stands at 606.

688By limiting Arizona to 46 rushing yards, the Lions defense has now allowed just 688 yards on the ground this season through 10 games, which is the lowest total by the club in the fi rst 10 game of a season since at least 1940.

10,000Johnson needs 152 receiving yards to reach 10,000 for his career and become the only player in Lions history with 10,000 receiving yards. His current total stands at 9,848 yards.

20,000On Staff ord’s 30-yard completion to Tate in the second quarter at Arizona (11/16), he surpassed 20,000 career passing yards. By reaching 20,000 career passing yards in his 71st career game, he set a new NFL record reaching that mark in the fewest career games. (Courtesy Elias Sports Bureau).

STAFFORD’S GAME�WINNING DRIVES Throughout his career, Staff ord has proven the ability to bring the team from behind to claim victory and perform great in the closing minutes of the game.

Thus far, Staff ord has led the Lions to 15 victories when trailing or tied in the fourth quarter or overtime. He has six career game-winning touchdown passes with less than one minute to play in fourth quarter (franchise record) and six a� er the two-minute warning.

Down 16-13 with 3:13 le� to play in Week 10 vs. Miami (11/9), Staff ord led the team on an 11-play, 74-yard drive that was capped off with an 11-yard touchdown pass to RB Theo Riddick. Staff ord escaped the pocket and threw against his body as Riddick grabbed the game-winning score in the le� corner of the end zone.

The Lions’ comeback win over Atlanta in Week 8 (10/26) marked the second time in Staff ord’s career that he has led a fourth-quarter game-winning drive that ended on the scoring play as time expired at the end of regulation. The other occasion came on his fi rst career game-winning drive as a rookie when he threw a one-yard pass to defeat the Cleveland Browns on November 22, 2009.

Staff ord threw a fi ve-yard touchdown pass to WR Corey Fuller with 1:48 to play, setting up K Matt Prater’s extra-point conversion in the Lions’ 24-23 victory over the Saints in Week 7 (10/19). That was Staff ord’s sixth game-winning TD pass inside the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter, the most in NFL history in a player’s fi rst six seasons in the league. Staff ord had been tied with three other players: Aaron Brooks, Randall Cunningham, and Tommy Kramer. (Courtesy Elias Sports Bureau).

PASSING PRIDE � CAREERAmong Lions QBs, Staff ord has passed his way into Lions lore by becoming the franchise leader in multiple categories. CAREER YARDSWith 20,136 career passing yards, Staff ord is the Lions’ all-time leader in career yards and the only Lions QB to reach 20,000 career yards. With 362 in Week 11 at Pittsburgh last season (11/17/13), Staff ord broke the previous record of 15,710 held by Layne, which has stood for 55 seasons (1958). Staff ord achieved this record in only 55 career games. Layne reached 15,710 yards in 97 career games.

He broke the previous record set by Hall of Fame QB Dan Marino who accomplished this feat in 74 career games. Only two other players besides Staff ord (71) and Marino (74) have reached 20,000 career yards in fewer than 80 games, including QB Kurt Warner (76) and QB Peyton Manning (78).

Staff ord threw for 280 yards in the team’s 20-16 win over Miami (11/9), and charted 19,953 passing through his fi rst 70 career games. He has totaled the most passing yards in NFL history through 70 career games, which includes 774 passing yards more than Dolphins Hall of Fame QB Dan Marino (19,179) who has the second-most through 70 games. Staff ord was just 47 yards shy of becoming the fi rst player in NFL history with 20,000 passing yards through his fi rst 70 career games.

MEGATRON UNMATCHEDEighth-year WR Calvin Johnson has produced some of the most prolifi c numbers among receivers in NFL history over the past three seasons and has continued to establish himself in 2014 as perhaps the best receiver in the League. Johnson has earned starting nods for the past four Pro Bowls and was named AP All-Pro in each of the past three seasons, including 2013.

In true Megatron form, Johnson returned from injury in Week 10 vs. Miami (11/9) a� er missing three games and recorded seven receptions for 113 yards and one touchdown. Toward the end of the fi rst quarter, Johnson and Staff ord connected on a 49-yard touchdown pass as Johnson muscled his way past Miami CB Brent Grimes to bring it down.

Johnson led all receivers in Week 2 at Carolina (9/14) with six receptions for 83 yards (13.8 avg). He reached 108-consecutive games with a reception, breaking WR Herman Moore’s previous franchise record of 107 games.

Johnson wasted no time fl exing his muscles in the Lions’ Monday Night win over the Giants in Week 1 (9/8) as he led all receivers with seven receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns, including a 67-yard TD catch from QB Matthew Staff ord on the opening drive of the game.

ALL�TIME RECEIVINGREACHING 10,000 CAREER YARDS

Currently with 9,848 career receiving yards, Johnson needs only 152 yards to reach 10,000 yards and become the only player in Lions history to reach that mark.

Johnson registered 83 yards at Carolina and pushed his career total to 9,575 yards, becoming the sixth player in NFL history to surpass 9,500 yards in his fi rst eight seasons.

With 9,848 career yards, he ranks fi � h among receivers in their fi rst eight seasons despite having played in at least 11 fewer games than the second-lowest tally (124, WR Larry Fitzgerald) among the top six receivers.

He fi nished in the Top-10 in gross punting average (6th; 47.2) and net punting average (10th; 40.4), and will look to solidfy the Lions’ special teams unit for years to come.


Through Week 11 of the 2014 season, Martin’s punting average of 46.7 ranks seventh in the NFL, and his net punting average of 41.0 ranks eighth.

Martin showed his versatility in Week 10 vs. the Dolphins (11/9) as he completed two passes out of punt formation, one of which went for 24 yards to FB Jed Collins for a fi rst down. Over the last 10 seasons, only one other NFL player has had two pass completions and two punts in the same game (Rams P Johnny Hekker in 2012). The last Lions player to do so was Earl Morrall, Detroit’s starting quarterback in 1963 who assumed punting duties at midseason a� er Yale Lary was injured. (courtesty Elias Sports Bureau).

Martin punted six times and averaged 51.0 yards per punt in the Lions’ 24-17 win at the New York Jets in Week 4 (9/28). Martin registered four 50+-yard punts during the game, and he fi nished with a 44.8 net punting average. Martin’s 51.0 average is the fi � h-highest single-game punting average among Lions punters with 6+ punts in a game since 1960, while his 44.8 net punting average ranks fourth since 1976 among Lions punters for the highest single-game net punting average since 1976.

SUMMARY The Detroit Lions opened their 2014 season at Ford Field against the New York Giants. QB Matthew Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson seemed to be in mid-season form as they connected on a 67-yard bomb to put the Lions up 7-0. Those two were just warming up because with 5:23 remaining in the first quarter Stafford, scrambling to his left and throwing back to his right, connected with Johnson for a 16-yard diving touchdown grab. That touchdown put the Lions up 14-0. The Giants wouldn’t go away quietly, countering with their own score on a one-yard pass from QB Eli Manning to TE Larry Donnell. Detroit came out in the second half and extended their lead with two field goals by K Nate Freese, one of which was set up by a spectacular interception from Lions LB DeAndre Levy. With just under six minutes to go after a S Glover Quin interception, Stafford dazzled the crowd yet again with a five-yard scramble for the score to go up 27-7. The Giants responded with a score of their own with a one-yard run by RB Rashad Jennings to cut the lead to 27-14. Detroit would respond by putting together a 12-play drive that chewed up more than seven minutes on the clock and ended with a three-yard touchdown by RB Joique Bell. Up 33-14 the Lions decided to go for two points fand converted on a Stafford pass to TE Joseph Fauria putting the game away. Lions LB DeAndre Levy led the team with 10 tackles and an interception.

SUMMARY The Lions fell to 1-1 on the season after a 24-7 lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. After two early kicks in the second quarter by Panthers K Graham Gano, the Lions were down 6-0 going into the half. After stopping the Panthers on their first drive after halftime, the Lions marched down the field on an eight-play, 63-yard drive that resulted in a one-yard touchdown pass from Lions QB Matthew Stafford to FB Jed Collins to put them up 7-6. Carolina was able to score in the third with 2:30 remaining when QB Cam Newton found WR Jason Avant on a 14-yard pass to regain the lead, 13-7. With 7:26 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Panthers were able to score on a two-yard run from RB Jonathan Stewart, and later capitalize on the two-point conversion to lead 21-7. Gano would later add a field goal to put Carolina up 24-7 and seal the game. For the second consecutive week the Lions did not allow a 100-yard rusher. The Carolina Panthers were held to only 62 yards, as LB Stephen Tulloch led the team with 10 tackles on defense.

SUMMARY The Detroit Lions improved to 2-1 on the season following a 19-7 victory in Week 3 vs. Green Bay. In the first division game of the season the Lions defense stepped up big again to lead them to victory. On the Packers’ second play of their first possession, DT Nick Fairly stripped Packers RB Eddie Lacy, causing a fumble. FS Don Carey was there to scoop and score to put Detroit up 7-0 in the first quarter with 12 minutes to go. Green Bay would tie the game with under a minute left to go in the first when QB Aaron Rodgers connected with WR Andrew Quarless on a 10-yard pass. After an unfortunate injury to LB Stephen Tulloch, LB DeAndre Levy and the rest of the Lions defense game stepped up their play for their fallen teammate. With the ball on their own one-yard line, the Packers tried run it out as Levy made the play in the end zone on Lacy to get the safety putting, Detroit up 9-7 in the second quarter. Detroit would add to its lead with a 30-yard field goal by K Nate Freese with under seven minutes to go in the second quarter to go up 12-7. Coming out the half the dominance by the Lions defense continued as they didn’t allow the Packers to score in the final three quarters of the game. With just under 11 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, RB Reggie Bush put Detroit in a commanding lead with a 26-yard touchdown run to seal the win 19-7.

SUMMARY The Detroit Lions improved to 3-1 on the season following a 24-17 win in Week 4 over the New York Jets. After early success from New York in the running game, the Lions were able to stall the Jets’ first drive and force them to attempt a 27-yard field goal from K Nick Folk to put the Jets up 3-0. Detroit would respond with a field goal of their own with under six minutes to go with a 51-yard field goal by K Alex Henerey to tie the game up. After battling back and forth defensively with under 10 minutes to go in the second, QB Matthew Stafford hooked up with WR Jeremy Ross for a 59-yard bomb to increase Detroit’s lead to 10-3. After another defensive stop the Lions’ two-minute offense would go to work. Detroit put together a five-play drive that ended with Stafford connecting with rookie TE Eric Ebron for a 16-yard score, putting the Lions up a commanding 17-3 heading into the half. In the third quarter Jets QB Geno Smith would connect with WR Eric Decker for an 11-yard touchdown, bringing the score to 17-10. Detroit responded quickly, putting together a 14-play, 90-yard drive ending with Stafford scoring on a one-yard scramble to put the Lions up 24-10. With under 10 minutes to play the Jets would score on a 35-yard scramble by RB Chris Johnson to narrow the score to 24-17. After another defensive stop the Lions were able to chew up the last 3:41 of the game. WR Golden Tate led the team with a career-high eight receptions and 116 yards receiving.

SUMMARY The Detroit Lions surrendered a narrow 14-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. The Lions had the lead early after QB Matthew Stafford connected with WR Golden Tate on nine-yard pass to put Detroit up 7-0. Early in the second quarter, veteran CB Rashean Mathis picked off Bills QB Kyle Orton and returned it 40 yards to give the Lions a commanding 14-0 lead. Buffalo would not go away after missed opportunities by Detroit would allow the Bills to scratch their way back into the game. Bills K Dan Carpenter would knock in one field goal in the second and third quarters, bringing them within eight points heading into the fourth. With under 10 minutes to go, Orton would connect with TE Chris Gragg on a two-yard pass that ended with a score as Buffalo would convert the two-point conversion. After a missed field goal by the Lions, Carpenter hit a 58-yard field goal with six seconds remaining to end the game. Detroit only allowed 49 total rushing yards and LB DeAndre Levy led the way with a game-high 13 tackles, his third-consecutive game with 10 or more tackles.

SUMMARY With a 17-3 win over the Vikings in Week 6 the Lions improved to 4-2 on the season. QB Matthew Stafford connected with RB Theo Riddick on a nine-yard slant to put Detroit up seven in the first quarter. In the second Detroit would extend its lead to 10 when newly-signed K Matt Prater knocked in a 52-yard field goal. The Lions offense would add another score in the fourth when RB Joique Bell charged in a one-yard touchdown run to put Detroit up 17-0 and in complete control of the game. Vikings K Blair Wash made a 40-yard field goal late in the fourth to make it 17-3. The Lions defense dominated the game against the Vikings. In the Lions’ 17-3 win at Minnesota, the Lions defense generated eight total sacks against the Vikings. Eight sacks marked the most in a game for the Lions since accumulating eight vs. Indianapolis November 23, 1997. The Lions defense held the Minnesota Vikings to just three points, marking the lowest tally allowed on the road by the Lions since they forced a shutout at Tampa Bay, 27-0, September 29, 1996. Allowing just three points to Minnesota marked the fourth-straight game the Lions allowed no more than 17 points in a game. The Lions generated eight team sacks and three interceptions. The last time the Lions registered 8+ sacks and 3+ interceptions in a game was at Philadelphia November 18, 1986 (11 sacks, three interceptions). LB DeAndre Levy led the defense with a team-high seven tackles, while LB Tahir Whitehead got his first and second career interceptions.
