| Foxboro, MA (MySportsbook) - Corey Dillon's touchdown with nearly 2 1/2 minutes to play propelled the New England Patriots to a 28-21 come-from-behind win over the Detroit Lions at Gillette Stadium. Dillon gained only 25 yards in the ground for the game but had three TDs and became the 15th player in NFL history with at least 11,000 career rushing yards. Tom Brady completed 27-of-38 passes for 305 yards with no touchdown passes and an interception for the Patriots (9-3), who turned the ball over three tim |

| (MySportsbook) - If they scheduled homecoming games in the NFL, this would be one. The Detroit Lions will visit the New England Patriots on Sunday, and few will be giving Rod Marinelli's club much of a shot. The Lions are 2-9, tied with the Cardinals and Raiders for the worst mark in the league as Week 13 begins. They've lost three straight games to teams with losing records - San Francisco (19-13), Arizona (17-10), and Miami (27-10) - with two of those three coming at home and the most decisive and recen |

New England has a seemingly easy five-game stretch starting Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Still, last season's experience should help him. Vrabel switched positions in the second quarter of last Sunday's 17-13 win over Chicago when Seau left with a serious right arm injury that landed him on injured reserve the next day. ``Even the |

The third pick in the 2002 draft, Harrington was supposed to be the savior of the awful Detroit Lions. Instead, he had about as much luck as every other Detroit quarterback the last five decades. The Lions were a dismal 18-37 under Harrington, and he threw more interceptions (62) than TD passes (60) in four years. When the Lions shipped him to Mia |

| (MySportsbook) - Thanksgiving is over and thus, essentially, so is the season for the Detroit Lions. Their 27-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Thursday dropped them to 2-9, tied for the worst record in the NFL. If the season ended today, the NFL would be examining the tie-breaking system to determine whether it's the Lions, Cardinals or Raiders on the clock for April's draft. In watching Miami feast on Rod Marinelli's team, it was clear that Detroit's offense must improve up front. Jon Kitna was sacked ei |

| GH, Mass. (AP) -The New England Patriots have a week of challenges following their big win over the Chicago Bears. They must replace injured linebacker Junior Seau, reduce their turnovers and remember to not overlook their next opponent, the lowly Detroit Lions. Oh, and the coaches might want to restrain Tom Brady from doing more open-field running and risking injury. But the quarterback's limited scrambling skills paid off in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Chicago Bears. His 11-yard scamper - ``an uncoor |
