Detroit ranks 14th in the league in run defense, allowing 96.2 yards per game, but offensively, their 59.6 yards per game output is worst in the NFL - by far.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -Matt Leinart had one thing going for him as he began learning on the job: two of the best targets in football. Make that one, at least for awhile. The struggling Arizona Cardinals lost Larry Fitzgerald for perhaps a month or more with a hamstring injury, meaning Leinart will make his second NFL start against the vaunted Chicago Bears defense without his Pro Bowl receiver. ``I'd say it will be at least two weeks, two-to-five maybe, two-to-four, it's hard to say,'' coach Dennis Green sa |
