| (MySportsbook) - Last week, the Washington Redskins put forth a lethargic performance that triggered more than its share of boos from the home crowd. Fans of the Detroit Lions would likely be ecstatic beyond belief with such a result. Owners of a painful 19-game losing streak, the Lions will be back at Ford Field this Sunday to take on a Washington team coming off an uninspiring win over another of the league's doormats.

DETROIT (AP) -The Detroit Lions failed to sell all their tickets for Sunday's game against the Redskins, meaning there will be a TV blackout in some local markets.

Last week, the Lions were able to sell 1,700 tickets for the home game against Minnesota. No such luck this time. The Lions have lost 19 games |

Yes, the Detroit Lions are losers of historic proportions. Should they fall at home to Washington on Sunday, they will drop into a morass visited by only one team in NFL annals. After becoming the only club to go 0-16 in a season, the Lions have lost their first two games this year. Add on a loss in the 2007 finale, and that makes 19 straight. By falling to the Redskins, Detroit would trail only the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who lost the first 26 games of their existence: 0-14, then 0-12 before taki |

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz says there's tangible proof of what the team is capable of doing this season. Schwartz said Wednesday it is easier to correct mistakes when the team watches film and sees positive signs. They've run the ball against stacked defenses and slowed down Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson. The coach and his players, though, say the lack of consistency has kept them winless. Detroit (0-2) seems to have its best chance at earning a victory before |
