| (MySportsbook) - Based on the early returns of this 2011 campaign, the rejuvenated San Francisco 49ers appear poised to end a string of eight consecutive seasons of not making the playoffs. It's been almost a lifetime, however, since the Detroit Lions got this deep into a year with an undefeated record. In one of the unexpected marquee matchups of the Week 6 schedule, the two teams will attempt to continue their restoration to relevance when they lock horns Sunday at Ford Field as current division leaders.

| Santa Clara, CA (MySportsbook) - The San Francisco 49ers have placed wide receiver Josh Morgan on the injured reserve list, ending his season.

Late in the fourth quarter, he was dragged down awkwardly at the end of a play and had to be carried off the field. He was unable to put any pressure on the leg, and was carted into the locker room. Morgan, 26, is in his fourth NFL season, all with the 49ers. He has 15 catches f |

Now, one can't blame the NFL for lacking the foresight to realize Sunday's unexpected blockbuster showdown between the undefeated Detroit Lions and 4-1 San Francisco 49ers would be the marquee game of the Week 6 slate -- it's a scenario that truthfully nobody could have envisioned a month or two ago. And it's understandable why that contest is receiving second billing behind the star-studded Dallas-New England clash o |

Many wondered how the Cardinal would perform without former head coach Jim Harbaugh, who left after last season to lead the San Francisco 49ers.
