Game InformatIondetroIt lIonS

WHat to WatCH forshoW Your stuffWith a win under their belt after defeating the New York Jets in Week 1 of the preseason, last Thursday’s game against the Browns presented an opportunity for players to further showcase themselves in the lineup. Head Coach Jim schwartz, however, felt that the team failed to capitalize on chances throughout the game on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, resulting in a 24-6 loss.

schwartz on the opportunity for players to rise to the occasion: “We missed this opportunity. It was a great chance for other guys to step up.”

Specifically on offense, with WR Calvin Johnson on the sidelines, the Lions’ young receiver corps saw extensive playing time across the board. A stingy Browns pass-rush allowed for minimal production through the air, though, something Schwartz said he had hoped to improve on in the team’s first road test.

schwartz on the lack of a vertical threat against the Browns: “We had some shots schemed in there, but the opportunity didn’t really come out to be able to get them out there. Regardless of whether you throw it deep or you throw it underneath, you’ve got to be able to get some chunks in the game somewhere and when I say ‘chunks’, I mean plus-twenty plays.”

In addition, penalties and miscommunication prevented any consistency within the Lions’ positional rotations through-out the game. A personal foul on DT ndamukong suh in the first quarter on Browns QB Brandon Weeden resulted in a 15-yard gain, and additional calls on RB reggie Bush and DE Willie Young granted the Browns favorable field posi-tion on three different occasions. With players competing for roster spots, Schwartz acknowledged that minimizing pen-alties is imperative if the team is to improve moving forward.

schwartz on personal fouls: “That’s another thing we’ve got to do a better job of. It doesn’t matter what happens out there. Reggie (Bush) got hit right in the back after a play, but that doesn’t give any reason to go put our offense in a worse position by getting 15. The cov-erage has a great coverage and then (Ndamukong) Suh gets a personal foul. Regardless of what you think of the call, it doesn’t matter. It gets called and we pay the price for it; same thing on the punt with Willie (Young). That’s something that last week we didn’t have. Last week we did a much better job of controlling the game and our emotions and this game we didn’t.”

With two preseason games still remaining against the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills, respectively, Bush be-lieves the loss at Cleveland provides key takeaway points for the team.

Bush on the learning from the loss at Cleveland: “We definitely can learn from this one. We can really take a lot away from this one and use it to get ready for the next week. I hope we use it wisely and find a way to get better.”

lions-Patriots connections ¾ Patriots head coach Bill Belichick joined the Lions

coaching staff in 1976 as an assistant special teams coach. His first coaching job was with the Lions tight ends and wide receivers in 1977. Lions head coach Jim schwartz was a college and pro scout for the Browns while Belichick was the head coach from 1993-1995.

Game InformatIondetroIt lIonS

WorKinG out the KinKsThrough eight quarters of preseason play, the Lions’ high-powered offense is still working to build momentum, gener-ating only four scores (1 TD, 3 FG). After Detroit’s 24-6 loss at Cleveland, Bush reflected on the ability to score points.

Bush on the team’s lack of scoring: “We should be con-cerned a little bit. No doubt, because we are better than that. We have to hold ourselves accountable, because we need to put points on the board. The offense’s job is to score points and we didn’t do a good job of start-ing off today. We have to do a better job and learn from this one”

Head Coach Jim schwartz was also not pleased with the team’s performance offensively, as the Lions did not score a touchdown against the Browns and failed to generate ex-plosive plays.

schwartz on the offense: “We played poorly on offense. Dropped balls, didn’t execute, didn’t move the ball, didn’t have any explosive plays (and we) didn’t score any touchdowns.

There’s going to be things that come up in preseason games and things like that. Again, we don’t actually game plan in preseason games, but I want to see us ex-ecute better. I think we all want to execute better. We want to put the ball in the end zone because that’s what it’s all about.”

QB Matthew stafford finished the game 11-of-16 for 74 yards before exiting late in the second half. While his favor-ite target, WR Calvin Johnson, sat out the game, Stafford was adamant that Johnson’s absence does not excuse the Lions’ lack of production on offense against the Browns.

stafford on his assessment of the offense: “The big-gest thing for us is just staying on the field,” Stafford told the Detroit Free Press. “We didn’t do really two things, didn’t stay on the field and didn’t have many explosive (plays). Those lead to points in this league and, obvi-ously, Calvin was out tonight, but that’s no excuse. We can’t use it as an excuse, can’t use it as a crutch. We got to have the other guys step up and make plays.”

Schwartz also identified issues with the defense as the Browns’ three quarterbacks combined for 21-of-29 for 242 yards with an average quarterback rating of 131.7. Poor tackling has been a common theme so far in preseason, ac-cording to Schwartz, and the Lions head coach was quick to discuss how to improve that facet of the game.

schwartz on the team’s missed tackles: “Last week, when it’s the first game, you sort of expect that a little bit and the point we made was we need to see improve-ment from last game to this game and we didn’t see that. Most of the tackling came from core leverage. It really wasn’t the actual tackle as much as it was the line of attack that they had and the leverage and angle that they took. It’s something that we definitely need to do better on.”

The Lions gave up 313 total net yards in the loss to the Browns, nearly 100 more yards than Detroit generated. Schwartz understands the role preseason plays in players’ development, but also acknowledged that the time to make improvements is now.

schwartz on adjusting the defense: “No excuses. We didn’t game plan but that has nothing to do with physi-cally getting beat, Schwartz told The Detroit News. That’s the most disappointing part of it. They ran the ball against eight-man fronts and that is unacceptable.”

Dual-threat WorKhorse When the Lions signed Bush this offseason, they knew they were getting an explosive playmaker. But after last week’s preseason game with the Browns, the team realized that Bush can also be the team’s workhorse, game in and game out.

Game InformatIondetroIt lIonS

Despite limited action in the preseason, Bush has the most carries and touches on the team, most of which came on one drive against the Browns last week. The Lions fed No. 21 the ball eight times on a 14-play drive that resulted in a K David akers 48-yard field goal in the second quarter. Bush caught three passes for 21 yards and carried the rock five times for 14 yards on that drive alone. He led the team in receiving with 44 yards overall, proving he could be that multi-purpose weapon out of the backfield.

stafford on building a relationship with Bush: “That’s what he can do. He can make plays for us in the pass-ing game. He caught all kinds of different routes tonight, and made some great plays for us. There are still some things we left out there, he and I, and we’ll keep working to get that fixed.”

Adding Bush to an offense with playmakers like Johnson and a core of athletic tight ends should open room over the middle for Stafford to find his newly acquired running back in the open field, which could result in big plays for the Lions this season.

Bush on working with stafford: “It was pretty impor-tant to connect on some passes, start building that chemistry. Getting ready for the regular season, that’s what the preseason is for. Fine tuning and seeing what errors we need to improve on and get better at. It was good to connect on a few passes with him.”

Establishing an effective run presence to complement his talents in the passing game will be among the goals for Bush and the Lions offense this season. In 2012, the Lions recorded 17 rushing touchdowns, the most since the team racked up 15 in 2000, and Schwartz hopes to see continued improvement from Bush in the team’s final two preseason games.

schwartz on Bush’s performance against the Browns: “Reggie played tough. Reggie played hard and made some plays for us. Again, offensively we didn’t have any big plays or explosive plays. We dropped passes, couldn’t move the ball, no touchdowns in the game. I mean there is no silver lining in a performance like that.”

runninG alonG leshoureAfter missing his rookie season with an Achilles injury in 2011, Leshoure provided a much-needed boost to the Li-ons run game in 2012. Leshoure finished with 798 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in his comeback season, the most rushing touchdowns by a Lions player since RB James Stewart recorded 10 in 2000. His three touchdown runs against Jacksonville in Week 9 (11/4) marked the first time in Lions history (since 1934) that a Lions player rushed for three first half scores.

¾ Leshoure made an immediate impact on the Lions of-fense in his debut at Tennessee (9/23) with 26 carries for 100 yards and a touchdown. He became the first Lions running back making their debut to hit the century mark and reach the end zone since RB Billy Sims recorded 153 yards and three touchdowns in his first career game in 1980.• Leshoure’s 26 carries marked the most ever by a

Lions rusher in their first career game. Sims had held the record with 22 before Leshoure’s big debut. He is the third non-rookie to record 26 or more carries in their NFL debut and the first to do so in a non-strike game.

T riley reiff did not begin his career as a traditional start-ing offensive lineman, but he became an integral part of the NFL’s third overall ranked offense last season. The first-round draft choice (23rd overall) out of Iowa in 2011 played at a high intensity every time his number was called and his role steadily increased as the season progressed. Reiff started eight games this season, with seven coming as an extra blocker along the offensive line.BarrIer reIFF - BY THe nUMBersreiff’s 2012 ParticipationDate G s Plys Total PctTotals 16 8 325 1200 27.1Final 12 Games 12 7 316 895 35.3

¾ Of the team’s 17 rushing touchdowns last season, eight occurred with Reiff on the field. At Jacksonville (11/14), the Lions rushed for four touchdowns, the most in a game since 2005, and all four occurred with Reiff on the field either as an extra lineman or as a tight end, some-times going in motion.

¾ Reiff manned the left tackle position against Green Bay (11/18) after T Jeff Backus left the game due to a ham-string injury. He entered the game midway through the second quarter and saw his most extensive action of the season.

¾ Reiff drew his first career start as a member of the of-fensive line in place of T Jeff Backus. He helped pave the way for two rushing touchdowns and 525 total yards of offense against a stout Texans defense. He was faced with the task of protecting QB Matthew Stafford’s blind side on all of his 61 pass attempts.

SUMMARY The Lions off ense marched straight down the fi eld for 12 plays, 72 yards to a 1st and Goal at the Rams three-yard line, only to have Rams rookie CB Janoris Jenkins pick off QB Matthew Staff ord’s pass in the end zone and return it to the St. Louis 34. Defense held the Rams to a 48-yard fi eld goal by rookie K Greg Zuerlien a� er a 10-play, 36-yard drive. On the next drive, Staff ord moved the chains 80 yards, setting up RB Joique Bell for a one-yard touchdown rush up the middle in front of his hometown. Detroit’s defense was at it again soon a� er when DT Ndamukong Suh brought down Jackson with one arm on a 3rd-and-2, helping force a punt situation. Staff ord‘s ensuing drive was thwarted by LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar as he picked off a pass intended for TE Brandon Pettigrew at the St. Louis 14 and returned it 42 yards to the Detroit 44. DT Nick Fairley came in with a sack on QB Sam Bradford for a loss of fi ve yards, compelling the Rams to settle for a fi eld goal. Seconds a� er the two minute warning, Staff ord was picked off by CB Cortland Finnegan at the Detroit 31 for the 31-yard score. Keen on shaking off the interception, the Lions ended the fi rst half with a 41-yard fi eld goal from K Jason Hanson. A� er a false start penalty and a Suh-sack (12 yards), the off ense once again had an opportunity to score. The Lions took the 45-yard fi eld goal to tie the game a� er coverage from CB Janoris Jenkins and a sack for a loss of nine yards courtesy of DE Robert Quinn. In the third quarter, Staff ord hammered down the fi eld for a fi ve-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to tie the game at 20-20. The Rams answered with a 13-play drive which garnered only a fi eld goal to give St. Louis a three point lead. The Lions traveled 80 yards in under two minutes on their fi nal drive of the game and fi nished with Staff ord connecting with RB Kevin Smith for a fi ve-yard pass with 10 seconds to play. Detroit’s high-energy win marked the franchise’s 50th home-opening win in team history.

SUMMARY The Lions ventured to Candlestick Park seeking a win for the fi rst time since 1975 in front of a primetime audience, but fell eight points short to San Francisco, 27-19. The 49ers wasted no time traveling for 67 yards in four plays and a touchdown in just over a minute as QB Alex Smith connected deep for 21 yards to TE Vernon Davis. A� er a fi ve-yard penalty on 49ers TE Demarcus Dobbs at Detroit’s 27, RB Kevin Smith edged down the fi eld for four yards in two plays and WR Calvin Johnson and TE Will Heller used height to their advantage and picked up 15 yards. K Jason Hanson capitalized on a fi eld goal attempt, concluding an eight-play, 48-yard scoring drive. The Lions special teams unit forced a turnover with a fumble caused by rookie LB Tahir Whitehead that was recovered by WR Kassim Osgood at the San Francisco 25. RB Joique Bell’s 2-yard acquisition was the lone gain on the ensuing drive that resulted with another fi eld goal from 41 yards out. Lions QB Matthew Staff ord was picked off on the third play of the ensuing drive by S Dashon Goldson at the Detroit 43 who returned it 20 yards. K David Akers added a 35-yard fi eld goal that was voided a� er a roughing the kicker penalty on Lions CB Drayton Florence. Two plays later, CB Jacob Lacey had a pass interference penalty which set the 49ers up for a one-yard rushing touchdown in fi ve plays, 23 yards and 2:24 off the clock. On Detroit’s’ following possession, The Lions off ense pushed down the fi eld using an eff ective run-pass combination, but Hanson missed the 40-yard fi eld goal attempt. Detroit answered soon a� er with a 40-yard fi eld goal drive that went for 10 plays, 39 yards and 6:02 with just under four minutes to play in the fourth. Akers came back with a 48-yard fi eld goal in 10 plays and 55 yards, while Staff ord was victim of two sacks for a combined loss of 24 yards as the Lions settled for their fourth and fi nal fi eld goal of the night. Smith’s 23-yard touchdown pass to Davis extended the 49ers’ lead late in the game.

On the following drive the Lions went three-and-out with Hanson fi lling in to punt due to P Ben Graham’s injury. A� er a fi ve-yard penalty on Fairley, Locker threw a 61-yard touchdown pass to Cook as the Titans then held the Lions to another fi eld goal. At the end of the fi rst half, Titans K Rob Bironas added a 38-yard fi eld goal. At the start of the third quarter, RB Mikel Leshoure came in for a one-yard rush touchdown on the Lions’ next possession. Following a Titans fumble, Staff ord responded with a three-yard TD pass and a two-point conversion both to WR Nate Burleson. Reynaud extinguished the Lions’ momentum with a 105-yard touchdown kickoff return, tying the score 27-27. Locker followed up with a 71-yard pass to WR Nate Washington for a touchdown on the Titans’ next drive to put Tennessee ahead one. With the ball back, Staff ord moved down the fi eld until TE Brandon Pettigrew was stripped as the Titans ran it back for a 72-yard touchdown. Lions QB Shaun Hill came in at 1:16 due to injury and found Johnson in the end zone for a three-yard touchdown. Hill forced overtime with a Hail Mary pass to WR Titus Young, but a Titans fi eld goal and a miscue on fourth down handed the Lions their second loss.

Young 1-17; Scheffler 1-16; K. Williams 1-5; Broyles 0-0.SUMMARY The Lions’ fi rst NFC North contest of the 2012 season opened with a 105-yard kickoff return courtesy of Vikings WR Percy Harvin just 12 seconds into the game. QB Matthew Staff ord led the Lions’ off ensive retaliation with an attempted deep pass to WR Calvin Johnson that was incomplete, but drew two penalties on the defense. Hanson booted a 40-yard fi eld goal a� er the four-play, 58-yard drive to narrow the score to 7-3. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson had a 12-yard run for a fi rst down, but DE Cliff Avril tackled Harvin on a reverse play for -3. WR Jerome Simpson had a fi rst down, but another tackle for loss of a yard by LB DeAndre Levy had the Vikings in a third down situation that led to a P Chris Kluwe punt. TE Brandon Pettigrew and RB Mikel Leshoure were able to gain two fi rst downs on the next drive, but a loss of three yards on Leshoure’s carry on 2nd-and-13 and a Staff ord sack put Detroit in a diffi cult position to keep the drive alive. Lions S Ricardo Silva stepped it up on the ensuing Vikings drive as he made two tackles to halt the Vikings before a pass interference penalty on CB Bill Bentley gave Minnesota 31 yards. A� er a failed third down conversion, K Blair Walsh added a fi eld goal from 49 yards out. Harvin got the Vikings to the 48 on their next drive a� er a 17-yard pass, while another pass interference penalty on Bentley moved the chains 26 more yards. DE Kyle Vanden Bosch stepped up on a third down at the Lions’ own nine-yard line, forcing a Minnesota chip shot fi eld goal that capped off an 82-yard drive. K Jason Hanson added a 31-yard fi eld goal on the ensuing drive as the Lions were forced to settle for three points a� er two end zone drops from WR Calvin Johnson and Pettigrew. Detroit’s defense held the score at 13-6 before the end of the half. To begin the second half, Avril was just shy of an interception on the fi rst play, while he and DT Ndamukong Suh combined for a 10-yard sack on Ponder to force a failed attempt on 3rd-and-20. Midway through the third quarter, Lions P Nick Harris punted 41 yards, only to have CB Marcus Sherels return it 77 yards for a touchdown and the Vikings’ second return touchdown of the game. The only other score of the game came late in the fourth with Staff ord on a one-yard quarterback sneak a� er 11 plays and 75 yards. The Lions le� Ford Field with a 1-3 record going into their Bye week.

SUMMARY Detroit engineered a late fourth-quarter rally led by QB Matthew Staff ord to overcome a 10-point defi cit to beat the Eagles 26-23 in overtime when K Jason Hanson kicked a 45-yard fi eld goal on Detroit’s fi rst possession of the extra period. Hanson gave the Lions an early fi rst quarter lead with two fi eld goals a� er the Eagles stalled on their fi rst posession. The second quarter opened up with a Staff ord interception by CB Nndami Asomugha, but the Eagles were not able to produce as a result of the takeaway and were forced to punt. On the Eagles’ next possession, Lions S Louis Delmas made a grand entrance back to the fi eld and granted the Lions with their fi rst interception of the season. Unfortunately, Detroit was not able to capitalize on the turnover. The Eagles then found their way on the scoreboard in the fi rst half when QB Michael Vick fl ipped the ball to RB LeSean McCoy on a screen pass as McCoy fought his way into the end zone to give the Eagles a 7-6 lead with 1:16 le� in the fi rst half. The third quarter saw a sluggish Lions off ense while the Eagles managed to score three fi eld goals (26, 32, 49) on three consecutive possessions. A� er a would-be Staff ord to Johnson touchdown was nullifi ed due to off ensive pass interference on Johnson, a 20-yard reception by Johnson set Staff ord up to scramble into the end zone for a one-yard touchdown run. The Eagles pushed their lead to 23-13 on a 70-yard touchdown pass from Vick to WR Jeremy Maclin with 5:18 le� to play, but the Lions responded with a 17-yard touchdown pass from Staff ord to WR Nate Burleson and a 19-yard fi eld goal by Hanson with three seconds le� to play to send the game into overtime. Back-to-back sacks on Vick by DE Cliff Avril and a combined eff ort from DE Kyle Vanden Bosch and DT Nick Fairley set up the Lions’ game-winning drive a� er the Eagles won the coin fl ip to start overtime and elected to receive. Detroit got the ball back at midfi eld and trusted the golden leg of Hanson as the veteran kicker knocked home the 45-yard fi eld goal to give the Lions the 26-23 victory.

The fi rst drive of the game had the Lions receiving and going three-and-out a� er WR Calvin Johnson had two drops and RB Mikel Leshoure only picked up four yards on the ground. Chicago scored on its ensuing possession in less than three minutes when QB Jay Culter connected seven yards to his favorite target WR Brandon Marshall to cap off a six-play, 59-yard drive. A� er another three-and-out for the Lions, the Lions defense held the Bears as LB Stephen Tulloch had a big tackle on third down to force a punt. Culter took advantage of another possession following a Lions punt and scrambled for 24 yards, tacking on 15 more from an unnecessary roughness penalty. The Lions forced a 39-yard fi eld goal from Bears K Robbie Gould a� er a tackle for a loss of three yards on third down by LB DeAndre Levy. Detroit’s defense began the second quarter as Cutler was sacked on third down for a loss of 9 yards by LBs Stephen Tulloch and Justin Durant, resulting in a fi eld goal situation. Gould attempted a 47-yarder but DE Lawrence Jackson thwarted the Bears’ scoring opportunity with the block. DT Ndamukong Suh delivered a rib-bruising sack to Culter on the subsequent Bears’ control and allowed for another three-and-out. Just a� er the two-minute warning of the half, Leshoure fumbled at Chicago’s 18-yard line and it was recovered by DE Julius Peppers. The half opened with the Lions’ defense managing to get the Bears off the fi eld in three downs, but P Adam Podlesh’s punt was muff ed by RB Stefan Logan and recovered by Bears CB Zack Bowman at the Detroit 27. The turnover was converted to three fi nal points when Gould booted a 21-yard fi eld goal to make the score 13-0. In a late attempt to bring his team back into the game, QB Matthew Staff ord drove the Lions all the way down the fi eld to the Chicago one-yard line. Detroit would get on the board with 30 seconds remaining in the game as Staff ord connected with rookie WR Ryan Broyles for his fi rst career touchdown, but it proved to be too little too late as the Bears recovered Hanson’s onside kick to seal the win 13-7.

SUMMARYThe Lions picked up their third win of the season with a come-from-behind 28-24 victory over Seattle at Ford Field. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson used the fi rst drive to push Seattle down the fi eld, but the Lions defense was able to hold them to a 23-yard fi eld goal delivered by K Steven Hauschka. On the ensuing Lions possession, an 82-yard drive was capped off with a Staff ord-to Broyles six-yard touchdown pass. On the initial play of the second quarter Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch broke free for a 77-yard touchdown dash to put Seattle back up 10-7. Seattle’s off ense continued their momentum with a nine-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to WR Sidney Rice in six plays, 80 yards and 2:50, pushing their lead to 17-7. On the Lions next chance with the ball, however, Staff ord connected a deep 46-yard pass to WR Titus Young in the end zone. Staff ord went 80 yards in six plays and just under three minutes to put the score at 17-14 in going into hal� ime. Both teams traded interceptions midway through the third quarter as Staff ord went on to scramble in for a one-yard touchdown to put the Lions up three at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Right away, however, Seattle WR Zach Miller caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from Wilson with 5:27 le� in the game to put the Seahawks ahead once again. However, Seattle was unable to stop the Lions on their fi nal possession as Johnson opened up the drive with a 15-yard reception. Staff ord went for the pass play and found Young wide open for a low one-yard pass and the win with only 20 seconds to play. The 16-play drive began at Detroit’s 20 and traveled 80 yards in 5:07. To seal the victory, Silva recovered a Seattle fumble with eight seconds le� to go in the game.

SUMMARY The Lions started their second drive of the game at their own 8-yard line a� er a 73-yard punt from Jaguars P Bryan Anger. K Jason Hanson got the Lions on the board with a 47-yard fi eld goal. Following another deep Anger punt, QB Matthew Staff ord orchestrated a drive spilling into the second quarter for 13 plays, 91 yards and 5:50 that culminated into Leshoure’s fi rst touchdown of the day. Working with their best fi eld position thus far in the game following a third straight Jacksonville punt, a 38-yard reception by Johnson took the ball to the one-yard line as Leshoure dashed in on the next play for a 14-0 lead.Though the Jags were able to obtain their sole fi rst down of the half on their next possession, the Lions defense ultimately forced another punt. With the ball back in Staff ord’s hands and staring at a third down situation, a pass interference call on the Jaguars provided 20 free yards and a fi rst down. A 12-yard catch by Johnson and a 17-yard catch by WR Titus Young landed Leshoure at the eight-yard line on 2nd-and-7 as T Riley Reiff gave Leshoure a clear shot to book it into the end zone and give Detroit a cushy 21-0 lead just before hal� ime. Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert was picked off by S Erik Coleman on Jacksonville’s ensuing control of the ball to begin the second half, but Detroit was unable to produce a score and punted. Near the end of the third quarter a� er scoreless drives from each team, Jacksonville rushed and passed to get into scoring position at Detroit’s 26. Gabbert then had a pass tipped in the Red Zone, allowing rookie CB Jonte Green to grab his fi rst career interception. Staff ord moved the chains to get K Jason Hanson in position to sink a 42-yard fi eld goal, giving the Lions a 24-0 lead with 13:56 to play. Jacksonville responded with its fi rst scoring drive of the game as Gabbert found WR Michael Spurlock in the end zone from fi ve yards out and RB Rashad Jennings then caught a pass on the two-point conversion to make it 24-8. Detroit’s answer was swi� with a nine-play drive that covered 80 yards as RB Joique Bell ran up the middle 10 yards for another six points to extend Detroit’s lead to 31-8.

On the ensuing Lions drive, Staff ord’s intended short pass to Pettigrew was picked off by Vikings LB Chad Greenway who returned it three yards. DE Cliff Avril rushed Ponder on the ensuing drive and came up with a big 15-yard tackle for loss, but the Vikings managed to get within fi eld goal range for Walsh as he booted a 48-yarder to put Minnesota up 10-0 at the end of the fi rst quarter. A Staff ord sack pushed the chains backwards 11 yards a� er two gains on the ground, however, as K Jason Hanson was called upon to deliver a 41-yard fi eld goal a� er 12 plays, 69 yards to narrow the score to 10-3. Answering the call for Minnesota was RB Adrian Peterson as he broke through holes for 15 yards, followed up by a 20-yard run from Ponder. Walsh later capped off the drive with a fi eld goal, followed by a 23-yard fi eld goal midway through the third quarter. On the resulting Lions drive, Staff ord sailed it 16 yards to Pettigrew in the back of the end zone for seven a� er just four plays and 81 yards. Ponder responded with a 20-yard pass to Rudolph and a two point conversion from Peterson a� er eight plays and 62 yards. In the fourth quarter, Staff ord hit WR Titus Young in the end zone a� er two more long passes to Johnson, but Peterson stifl ed any Detroit momentum as he darted 61 yards for another Vikings score. Staff ord and Johnson would eventually connect in the end zone for the fi rst time all season, but the Vikings were able to keep possession late into the game to seal the win 34-24.

The Packers’ ensuing possession carried into the start of the second quarter as QB Aaron Rodgers sailed a 20-yard pass to TE Jermichael Finley for a touchdown a� er 81 yards in 11 plays. Facing a 1st-and-Goal a� er a pair of Staff ord completions, Leshoure rushed it in for the score and Hanson added the point a� er to put Detroit back up by three. Following a stout defensive stand, a promising Detroit drive aided by two defensive penalties was thwarted by Packers CB Casey Hayward as he picked off Staff ord’s pass intended for WR Titus Young and returned it 20 yards. Lions CB Jacob Lacey picked off Rodgers, however, and returned it for 10 yards on the second play of the Packers’ ensuing possession. Two incomplete passes put Staff ord in a 3rd-and-10 situation as he fumbled the ball following a sack by LB Dezman Moses. A missed 50-yard fi eld goal from Packers K Mason Crosby, though, allowed the Lions to carry the 10-7 lead into hal� ime. Midway through the third quarter, however, Green Bay S M.D. Jennings hand-delivered Staff ord’s second interception of the day and returned it 72 yards to the end zone to put the Packers back on top 14-10. The next drive provided Detroit’s best and most dynamic answer, a Staff ord to WR Calvin Johnson 25-yard touchdown a� er 10 plays, 83 yards and 5:30 to give the Lions a 17-14 lead. Hanson provided a further boost with a 27-yard fi eld goal a� er 9 plays and 63 yards with nearly four minutes remaining in the game. Misplays by Lacey and S Ricardo Silva, however, allowed Rodgers to complete a 22-yard touchdown pass to WR Randall Cobb to put the Packers up 21-20. Detroit was unable to reach a fi rst down in the ensuing possesion as Crosby nailed a 39-yard fi eld goal with only 0:19 seconds to play. Johnson’s attempted lateral on the fi nal play of the game was fumbled and recovered by Green Bay as the Packers went on to win 24-20.

Leshoure pushed his way two yards for a touchdown as the drive marked the fi rst time the Lions scored on their fi rst possession. At the start of the second quarter, Houston scored on the successive push down the fi eld when RB Arian Foster raced six yards into the end zone. A� er a pair of Staff ord completions, two more 12-yard passes to Johnson and TE Brandon Pettigrew, respectively, helped drive the ball down the fi eld to the Houston fi ve-yard line. A fi ve-yard pass from Staff ord down the middle sailed into Thomas’ waiting hands for six more points to give the Lions the 14-7 lead. QB Matt Schaub responded with a deep pass to WR Andre Johnson for 43 yards. Two plays later Houston TE Owen Daniels caught a nine-yard pass to bring the score to 14-14. Lions’ Staff ord responded with a pass to Broyles for 37 yards and then 22 yards to Johnson for a touchdown in just two plays, 59 yards and 0:22. K Jason Hanson sank a 46-yard fi eld goal on the Lions’ fi rst drive to open up the third quarter. Following a controversial, 81-yard touchdown run from RB Justin Forsett, K Shayne Graham booted in a 45-yard fi eld goal to tie the game again. The opening play of the fourth quarter saw RB Joique Bell darting 23 yards for the go-ahead score as the Detroit defense held Houston scoreless until the two minute warning when Foster added a one-yard rush to tie the game at 31-31 and send it into overtime. A Pettigrew fumble was recovered by LB Darryl Sharpton as a pair of missed fi eld goals from both Graham and Hanson allowed Graham one last shot to win the game, resulting in the go-ahead 32-yard fi eld goal to give Houston the 34-31 win.

Luck converted a third down on the next drive with a 60-yard pass to WR T.Y. Hilton. Facing another third down, WR Donnie Avery snagged a 17-yard pass from Luck for his fi rst score as the Colts took the lead 7-3. RB Stefan Logan returned a 73-yard kick from P Pat McAfee 21 yards to Detroit’s 13 as Staff ord moved the chains with three quick passes down the fi eld. Staff ord then passed deep right to TE Brandon Pettigrew in the end zone on second down to take the lead 10-7. Indianapolis went three-and-out as Johnson’s one-armed, 32-yard catch helped set up Leshoure’s rush up the middle for a six-yard touchdown. In three plays and two defensive penalties, Colts TE Coby Fleener responded with a 26-yard touchdown pass from Luck in the end zone to regain the lead. Two drives later, CB Drayton Florence’s pick resulted in another fi eld goal from Hanson, followed by another one from 52 yards out. A� er both teams traded interceptions, Colts RB Vick Ballard marched down the fi eld to start the third quarter and capped it off with an 11-yard touchdown run. Staff ord looked to Johnson soon a� er for a 46-yard sliding touchdown as Johnson’s 12th catch of the day put him over the 125+-yard receiving mark for the fi � h straight game. On the subsequent Detroit possession, Bell dashed for a 67-yard run that helped set up Hanson’s fourth fi eld goal to give the Lions a 33-21 lead. However, despite having just thrown his third interception of the game, Luck came right back with a 42-yard pitch for six to WR LaVon Brazill to set the score at 28-33 with only 2:39 to play. The Colts defense held the Lions on the ensuing drive, allowing Luck to have the ball for one last drive. Luck managed his way down the fi eld to the Lions 14-yard line before fi nding Avery on a checkdown route for the game-winning score and Avery’s second touchdown of the game.”

On 4th-and-Inches, Staff ord trotted in for the four-yard touchdown run a� er 12 plays and 80 yards. On the following posession, DE Lawrence Jackson sacked QB Aaron Rodgers at Detroit’s 12-yard line for a loss of six yards and forced a fumble that was recovered by LB Stephen Tulloch. On 2nd-and-6 from Green Bay’s 33-yard line, Staff ord passed deep right to WR Kris Durham, who made a stellar one-armed snag to pick up 27 yards in his Lions debut. Two plays later Staff ord connected with Scheffl er on a three-yard touchdown pass giving Detroit a 14-point cushion. The Packers mustered out a 49-yard fi eld goal from K Mason Crosby to cut the Lions’ lead to 14-3. On Staff ord’s ensuing control of the ball, TE Will Heller converted a third down with a three-yard reception. Durham picked up another fi rst down shortly a� er with a 10-yard grab, but the following snap slipped out of Staff ord’s hands, allowing for Packers DE Mike Daniels to scoop it up for a 43-yard fumble return for a touchdown. The Packers were in command of the ball to start the third as Rodgers scrambled 27 yards into the end zone for the go-ahead score. Staff ord rebounded by converting a third down when he clicked with WR Calvin Johnson on a 19-yard pass that drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on S Morgan Burnett. Two yards from RB Mikel Leshoure and six more from Johnson had the Lions settling for a 46-yard fi eld goal from Jason Hanson to tie the game at 17-17. Hanson and Crosby both missed 51-yard fi eld goal attempts on their teams’ ensuing possessions, but the Packers soon turned to the ground game as RB DuJuan Harris bolted 14 yards for a touchdown to regain the lead. A� er the Lions were unable to score, WR Randall Cobb returned P Nick Harris’ punt 13 yards and followed up with a 38-yard reception to put the Packers in scoring position. Crosby came in on 4th-and-7 for a 41-yard fi eld goal to push the lead to 24-17. The Lions were held to a 34-yard fi eld goal in the waning minutes of the game that would eventually be the fi nal scoring play of the game as the Packers sealed the win, 27-20..

A� er a three-and-out from the Lions off ense, LB DeAndre Levy intercepted Lindley’s pass on the fi rst snap to hand the ball right back over to QB Matthew Staff ord. Leshoure fi nished off a long drive with a one-yard touchdown run to give the Lions a 7-0 lead. Detroit’s defense successfully held Lindley’s crew to a punt, but return man RB Stefan Logan was accidently hit by his teammate CB Pat Lee, causing him to muff it as the ball was recovered by Arizona’s CB Michael Adams at Detroit’s fi ve-yard line. On 1st-and-5, RB Beanie Wells ran it in to make it a tie game. With 4:10 le� in the half, back-to-back penalties on T Gosder Cherilus and T Riley Reiff had Detroit pinned back at 1st-and-15 when Staff ord’s pass intended for Johnson was intercepted by CB Patrick Peterson and returned 31 yards before Johnson took him down. Two plays later, RB Beanie Wells pushed one yard into the end zone to make the score 14-7. Staff ord converted two third-down situations on the Lions’ successive drive, but on 3rd-and-15 at Detroit’s 43-yard line, S Rashad Johnson darted out for a 53-yard pick six. K Jay Feely sank a 51-yard fi eld goal a� er eight plays spanning 30 yards to cushion Arizona’s lead early in the second half. Detroit’s fi nal score of the game came in response when K Jason Hanson nailed a 41-yard fi eld goal to cap off an 11-play, 57-yard drive. The fourth quarter saw three three-and-outs before Staff ord passed it deep 30 yards to Johnson to set up a potential comeback with nearly fi ve minutes le� in the game. Logan caught a 10-yard pass, Johnson racked up six more and Scheffl er caught a 29-yard pass for a fi rst down at Arizona’s 12. Logan picked up eight more yards and at the four-yard line, WR Kris Durham caught Staff ord’s pass in the end zone for what would have been a touchdown if not for a delay of game penalty. Staff ord looked again to Durham in the end zone on the very next play, but Arizona CB Greg Toler intercepted the pass and returned it 102 yards for a touchdown. Arizona ended the game with a 31-yard touchdown run from Wells, his third rushing touchdown of the game.

SUMMARY History was made in a primetime Saturday night matchup against the Falcons when Lions’ WR Calvin Johnson surpassed Hall of Fame WR Jerry Rice’s single-season record of 1,848 receiving yards (1995) to bring his total to 1,892 yards with one game le� to go in the season. Following a RB Mikel Leshoure fumble in the fi rst quarter, Atlanta QB Matt Ryan made quick work of the turnover with a 16-yard completion to WR Roddy White. Ryan capitalized on the good fi eld position, tossing a 44-yard bomb to White to take the lead 7-0. On the Lions’ ensuing drive, K Jason Hanson’s 34-yard fi eld goal capped off an 11-play, 58-yard drive to bring the score to 7-3. The second quarter had Ryan hitting a short pass to White as he darted into the end zone for a 39-yard touchdown, his second of the game. Capitalizing once again on a stalled Detroit drive followed by a fumble from Johnson, Ryan converted the turnover into another seven points for the Falcons when he threw a 16-yard pass into the back of the end zone to WR Julio Jones. Four run plays and four pass plays into the third quarter, including 14 more yards for Johnson, Leshoure rushed up the middle for a one-yard touchdown. The resulting drive had Detroit’s defense halting Atlanta as Leshoure pushed down the fi eld with several gains on the ground. Confronting a 3rd-and-4, Staff ord shot it 21 yards to Johnson to get the fi rst down. Leshoure picked up another fi rst down on a pass, but Hanson came out for the chip shot on the 4th-and-Goal. On the ensuing drive,TE Michael Palmer caught the one-yard pass a� er the drive spanned 11 plays and 78 yards. On the next drive Staff ord tried for the record-breaking reception to Johnson, but was picked off by CB Asante Samuel. Following a Falcons fi eld goal, Staff ord hit Johnson for a 26-yard gain as Johnson offi cially broke the 17-year old NFL receiving yard record. Staff ord drove the ball all the way to the two-yard line following the historic play. However, Atlanta took over a� er an incomplete pass to Heller. DE Kyle Vanden Bosch tackled RB Michael Turner in the end zone on the fi rst play of the Falcons’ possession for a safety sealing the score at 31-18.

However, the drive stalled from there due to a false start penalty on Chicago, stiff play by the Lions defense and a costly Cutler fumble that the Bears recovered at the 50-yard line, forcing a punt. Lions QB Matthew Staff ord met with TE Tony Scheffl er for 28 yards and a fi rst down, then to WR Calvin Johnson for another 18. RB Mikel Leshoure managed to convert a 3rd-and-5, but on the following 4th-and-1 K Jason Hanson came in to deliver a 44-yard fi eld goal to cap off the nine-play, 65-yard drive. Cutler then passed short le� to WR Earl Bennett for a 60-yard touchdown play to put the Bears up 7-3. Making quick work of a Lions fumble at Detroit’s 24, Bears K Olindo Mare booted a 33-yard fi eld goal to pad the Bears’ lead to 10-3. On the third Lions possession following a series of punts, Staff ord was strip-sacked by Bears DL Israel Idonije for a loss of 11 yards, and the fumble was recovered by Bears DE Julius Peppers. Sitting at Detroit’s 10-yard line with a fi rst down, Forte punched it one yard into the end zone for another Chicago touchdown, extending the Bears’ lead to 17-3. On the second snap of the ensuing Lions’ possession Staff ord was picked off by CB Tim Jennings who returned it 31 yards. Again with a turnover that placed them in the Red Zone, Chicago capitalized with a 40-yard fi eld goal. Unwilling to give in, Staff ord orchestrated a long drive of relatively short gains to meet WR Kris Durham with a 25-yard touchdown pass to end the fi rst half. The Bears’ drive went scoreless to begin the third quarter as Staff ord connected with TE Will Heller for a 10-yard grab in the end zone to make it just a three point game. Another costly fumble allowed the Bears to set up in the Red Zone and quickly turn the opportunity into a 28-yard fi eld goal from Mare. Chicago began the fourth quarter with yet another chip shot fi eld goal. Staff ord drove down the fi eld to connect with WR Brian Robiskie for a nine-yard touchdown pass to bring the score back to 26-24. Three incomplete passes, though, gave the Bears the ball back with just under four minutes to go. Cutler successfully ate up the time remaining to secure Chicago’s win.
