DETROIT (AP) -Somebody's got to win, right? Detroit, which has one victory since enduring the NFL's first 0-16 season, is hosting the winless St. Louis Rams, who might have their best shot to avoid joining the Lions in league infamy, in an oddly intriguing game. ``Both of us are hungry for a win,'' Lions linebacker Julian Peterson said. Starving, really. The Lions quietly slipped out of the national watch of terrible teams when they finally won a game in Week 3, snapping a 19-game losing streak and |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -Steven Jackson has been a standout for the winless St. Louis Rams, ranking second in the NFL in yards from scrimmage and third in rushing. No TDS yet, although he's doing his best to be a team player about it. Jackson is coming off his best game of the season, rushing for 134 yards on 23 carries, and the best quarter of his career, piling up 95 yards in the third quarter against Indianapolis. The bruising 240-pounder has 635 yards rushing, a 4.4-yard average and 804 yards from scrimmage |

DETROIT (AP) -The Detroit Lions game against the St. Louis Rams will be blacked out on TV in and around the Motor City. Lions spokesman Bill Keenist said Thursday the team did not sell all the 10,000-plus tickets that were still available the previous day. The lackluster game featuring the Lions (1-5) and the winless Rams (0-7) will be blacked out in the Detroit, Lansing, Saginaw-Flint and Toledo, Ohio, markets. Detroit sold out two of its first four games, getting a lot of help the last time it was |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -Each week, the winless St. Louis Rams find some reason to be optimistic they'll finally end their slump. No matter who they're playing. This week it's legitimate because they're playing the one-win Lions. Hopes are definitely high for a franchise that has dropped 17 in a row dating to Oct. 19, 2008, when they briefly peaked under interim coach Jim Haslett and beat the Cowboys for their second - and final - victory in a dismal season that led to a housecleaning. ``It would be big,'' quar |

| work) - The surface the New Orleans Saints play upon at the Louisiana Superdome is indeed artificial. And, since "The Greatest Show on Sportexe Momentum" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, the 2009 Saints are drawing direct comparisons to those St. Louis Rams teams that turned the Edward Jones Dome scoreboard into a veritable pinball machine- counter as the 20th century gave way to the 21st. The resemblance, in many ways is uncanny. In the Rams' stage production, the role of clinically-accurate signal-ca |

While the Saints' offense is drawing comparisons to that of the St. Louis Rams' unit from earlier this decade that was once labeled "The Greatest Show on Turf," what makes New Orleans even scarier is its outstanding defense. New Orleans returned two interceptions for touchdowns versus the Dolphins and also forced a fumble, giv |

| (MySportsbook) - 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 |

Detroit will have a chance to end its newest losing streak at three games on Sunday, when the 0-7 St. Louis Rams visit Ford Field. The Rams, who have scored just 57 points through the first seven weeks, are one of the few teams that the Lions can look down on in NFL power polls, but it stands to reason that St. Louis is viewing Detroit as its first potential v |

Manning connected on 23 of his 34 pass attempts, while Joseph Addai added a rushing score for the Colts (6-0), who boast a 15-game regular-season winning streak. Reggie Wayne had seven receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown. "I think we did most things pretty we |
