| Defense may take back seat in Saints-Lions playoff clash |
NFL Football |
01/06/2012 |
| |
| (MySportsbook) - The Detroit Lions have waited 12 long years for the opportunity they'll be receiving this weekend, though the team's sorely- anticipated return to the playoffs could be a short stay if its defense duplicates its most recent performance. The ascending Lions face a second consecutive tough assignment in the form of the high-flying and high-scoring New Orleans Saints, with the two prolifically pass-efficient clubs set to square off Saturday in the Superdome in an NFC First-Round Playoff that |

| provided by the most prolific passing display by two quarterbacks the league has ever seen -- and one was a backup with one career start to his credit. Matt Flynn made himself a whole lot of money on the first day of 2012, while possibly costing the Detroit Lions a smaller playoff paycheck in the process. Aaron Rodgers' well-regarded understudy accomplished a feat that his MVP- candidate teammate, nor Brett Favre or Bart Starr for that matter, never achieved when Green Bay's substitute signal-caller shredded |

| Green Bay, WI (MySportsbook) - With the No. 1 seed in the NFC secured, the Packers chose to sit quarterback Aaron Rodgers for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions. Instead, Matt Flynn was set for his second NFL start and first since Week 15 of last season. He made that start because Rodgers had a concussion and nearly led the Packers to a win against New England, completing 24-of-37 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns. But he also had an interception returned for a touchdown in t |

San Diego was eliminated from postseason consideration with a 38-10 loss at the hands of the Detroit Lions last Saturday. The Chargers' hopes were entering Ford Field on a three-game winning streak after losing the previous six games, but it was not to be following a rough offensive display.

| (MySportsbook) - The Detroit Lions were able to achieve one of the goals the team set heading into this season, but there's still very elusive one they'd very much like to reach. After finally ending a playoff absence that lasted more than a decade, the still-hungry Lions now have their sights zeroed in on claiming their first win at Lambeau Field in 20 years. The NFC Wild Card recipients will try to accomplish the feat in Sunday's matchup with the conference-leading Green Bay Packers, who'll be entering |

But let's first take a brief look back at some other teams and players who wound up with a very merry Week 16, as well as those whose Christmas spirit was spoiled by the recent events. Good tidings were also bestowed upon: The Detroit Lions. The longtime sad-sacks may have ruffled a few feathers this season, but their cashing of a playoff ticket for the first time since 1999 is still ranks as one of the feel-good stories of this season.

While Sam Houston State beat Montana in the FCS semifinals on Dec. 16, Ware described as an announcer on the ESPN broadcast that Flanders' moves as a running back are similar to what Barry Sanders once provided for the Detroit Lions. Ware, the 1989 Heisman Trophy winner, did not have a prior conversation with Flanders, but seeing was believing. Had they talked, Ware would have learned Flanders' all-time favorite player is Barry Sanders. That Flanders was zigging and zagging his |
