Daunte Culpepper will start his second straight game in place of Stafford, who hurt his knee against Chicago two weeks ago. Johnson sustained a thigh injury in the Lions' loss to Pittsburgh last week. Left tackle Chad Clifton and safety Atari Bigby return from injuries for the Packe |

From late-round afterthought to a Pro Bowler, Driver has had quite a career. Driver goes into Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field needing only one reception to become the Packers' career leader for catching passes. He is tied with Sterling Sharpe with 595 catches. ``I think it's surprising,'' Driver said. ``I never would've expected it to happen, but it's |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Losing a road game to the Green Bay Packers is nothing new to the Detroit Lions - they've been doing that since 1992. But last year's loss at Lambeau Field was particularly painful. By dropping their season finale 31-21 to the Packers last December, the Lions sealed their dubious place in NFL history: 0-16. Center Dominic Raiola says the Lions (1-4) don't expect any jarring flashbacks in their return to Lambeau to face the Packers on Sunday. ``I think all of the bad memories ar |
