| (MySportsbook) - What the Detroit Lions and St. Louis Rams might lack in Grade-A, championship-caliber football on Sunday at Ford Field could be made up for in the area of competitive fire. The Lions and Rams, two of the league's most downtrodden teams as the 2009 season hits Week 8, are undoubtedly looking at one another as potential sources of a much-needed victory, and figure to pull out all the stops in order to land that win. Detroit is back on the field following a one-week hiatus that was preceded |

| ts Network) - The St. Louis Rams will have the opportunity to stake an unofficial claim to a rather dubious title when they pay a visit to Detroit's Ford Field this upcoming weekend. After completing the first 0-16 season in NFL history in 2008, the Detroit Lions had been universally upheld as the league's model for futility. With competition from the still-winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that unwanted label now arguably belongs to the hapless Rams, whose losing streak grew to 17 games following this past Sund |

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -The Detroit Lions finally won a game this season, pushing their plight out of the national spotlight. Quietly, though, they're still pretty bad. The team looks radically different than it did during its infamous 0-16 season, but Matt Millen's missteps and the front office's inability to make magical moves since he was fired a year ago leaves the franchise with a 1-5 record and a lot problems. Is new coach Jim Schwartz pleased with anything going into this weekend's bye? ``N |
