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 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.

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 |

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 |
