CHICAGO (AP) -Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford had his right knee wrapped after he twisted it during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. The Lions had a third down at the Bears 6 when Stafford twisted his leg as he was sacked for an 11-yard loss by Adewale Ogunleye. That forced Detroit to kick a field goal, which cut Chicago's lead to 34-24 with 8:15 left. Daunte Culpepper replaced Stafford on the Lions' next possession.Copyright © 2005 The Associated P |

| (MySportsbook) - The Detroit Lions ended an ugly chapter in their history with last week's win over the Washington Redskins. Now, the trick for Jim Schwartz and company will be to keep the good times rolling on the road. Detroit will travel to Soldier Field for a matchup with the longtime division rival Bears, with an eye toward putting another long-standing losing streak to rest. The Lions have lost 13 in a row away from the Motor City since Oct. 28, 2007, when they defeated the Bears during a period tha |

| (MySportsbook) - After the Detroit Lions got off the schneid last week to end a 19-game skid, the St. Louis Rams are the new owners of the NFL's longest losing streak at 13 games. The team hopes to rid itself of that distinction Sunday afternoon against the familiar San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park. St. Louis has lost 30 of its last 35 games and dropped to 0-3 for a third consecutive season. First-year head coach Steve Spagnuolo is caught in a whirlwind of failure and hopes that Sunday's road test |

Last week, all four teams were victorious for just the second time since the league realigned in 2002 and created the new NFC North. Week 10 in 2005 was the only other instance. The Detroit Lions already are a little better after going winless last year. After a bad first game against Green Bay, Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears bounced back with consecutive victories behind a strong passing attack. The Packers are 2-1, too. The Vikings are |

The ligament was torn off the bone, and doctors had to insert a screw to reattach it. That's not the Detroit Lions safety's only damaged digit - just the worst one. He has two other fingers that always seem to be jammed. ``I'll have fingers like the witch on 'The Wizard of Oz' by the time I'm done playing football,'' he said. Washington Redskins cornerback D |
