The Raiders are currently tied for the worst record in the NFL with the Detroit Lions. SERIES HISTORY The Raiders lead the all-time series with the Rams, 7-3, but were 28-13 road losers when the teams last met, in 2002. Oakland won the previous meeting, 35-17, at McAfee Coliseum in 1997. St. Louis is 0-2 all-time in Oakland, and thei |

DETROIT (AP) -Detroit Lions running back Kevin Jones underwent surgery on his injured left foot Wednesday and will begin a long rehabilitation period.

Lions trainer Al Bellamy confirmed that Jones sustained a Lisfranc injury, a tearing of the tissues that connect the bones in the middle of the foot. Detroit linebacker Teddy Lehman missed more than 12 months with a similar injury. More optimistic projections hav |

| and there seems to be no end in sight. Over the course of just a few seasons, the once-great franchise has become a model of how not to build a winner in the modern NFL. Oakland is 2-11 this year and is tied for the worst record in the NFL with the Detroit Lions. In fairness to the Raiders, they are probably a better team than the Lions, who play in the NFC North, a much easier division than Oakland's AFC West. Still, it is probably a small consolation to a fan base as rabid as the Raiders' that they are a |

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -Ford Field was so quiet Sunday that Roy Williams claimed he could hear fans ordering hot dogs at the concession stands. The Detroit Lions players don't blame their fans for being apathetic. Some of them are wondering what even brings them to the stadium to watch one of the worst teams in recent memory. After losing 30-20 to Minnesota, the Lions are 2-11. The franchise has lost at least 10 games in six straight seasons. ``The fans have a right to be upset with us,'' said tight |

He may have a fracture/dislocation of the foot, an injury that kept linebacker Teddy Lehman on the sidelines for nearly 12 months. ``That was frustrating, because it was almost a complete year before I pl |
