The reigning NFL offensive player of the week, he ran for a career-high 140 yards on 16 carries and added 61 yards on four receptions and totaled three touchdowns in the Lions' 49-35 comeback win against Carolina.

Despite a 9-1 record that is the second-best in the NFL behind only the 10-0 Green Bay Packers, San Francisco knows that it has a tough task ahead. The 49ers must travel to the East Coast on a short week, though playing on the road hasn't been a problem for the club in 2011. San Francisco has prevailed in all four of its games as the guest th |

The task won't be easy, however, as entering the Motor City for Thursday's annual Turkey Day contest at Ford Field will be a powerful Green Bay Packers squad that hasn't tasted defeat in nearly a full calendar year. The Packers come into this critical NFC North clash riding a franchise-record 16-game winning streak when counting last year's postseason and will be shooting for their first 11-0 start |

Sure, Niners-Ravens is going to be hard to top, but one could make a strong case that the finally-contending Lions' Week 12 showdown with the juggernaut Green Bay Packers matches the nightcap in terms of both intrigue and significance. The opener features two storied rivals -- one of which will be the first undefeated entry to be competing on Thanksgiving in nearly 50 years, the other fielding by far its best assembl |

Even after a tough loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, a seemingly-fuming Morris still found some positives from Sunday's 35-26 setback at Lambeau Field that dropped his team to 4-6 on the season. "We played sharp, we played fast, we were able to move the football on a very good defense," Morris said after the Bucs' fourth straight loss. "We did a nice job comp |
