Start slow, finish strong.
The Detroit Lions know the drill all too well.
They've done just that in most of the first nine games with mixed results. Standing at 4-5 entering the FOX America's Game of the Week against visiting Green Bay (1 p.m. ET Sunday), the Lions must now rally for a postseason berth.
Why it has come to this makes Detroit the NFL's most enigmatic...

The Lions are disappointing their fans this season.  This week their weak defense is facing Aaron Rodgers.  I just hope they don't give up 50.
After a rough Week 10, I'm sitting at 92-54-1. Â Who wants to keep track of a tie.
Let's see if I can turn this around this week.

The Detroit Lions are an average football team.
Their record says it, the numbers say it, the experts say it.
Why then, doesn’t it make sense?

To be fair, injuries have killed this team. Â Without Louisâ...

ALLEN PARK, Mich. Calvin Johnson has that look right now of an elite athlete who refuses to be denied.
It wasnt enough to help his team, the Detroit Lions, win their last game in Minnesota, but Johnson certainly did all he could do.
His 12 catches for 207 yards and one touchdown added up to quite a performance under the circumstances.
Johnson hasnt been practicing much because...

Ndamukong Suh’s honeymoon in the NFL is over. Suh came into the league being considered this well-rounded, articulate and aggressive defensive tackle who would change the game.
That is no longer the case. Suh has been involved in a few traffic accidents, garnered attention for being a very dirty player, and had his effort questioned lately.
Reports came...

Lions safety Louis Delmas is getting closer to playing again.
Delmas has not practiced with Detroit since sustaining a knee injury against the Seattle Seahawks on October 28. He was not participating in the first 30 minutes of practice media members were allowed to watch on Wednesday, but Delmas stretched with the team, and joked with several players, which is a good sign.

First, he sighed.
Detroit Lions middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch then replied not with a name but a jersey number - "12" - when asked what had stood out about Green Bay's offense during his pregame video study.
That's the kind of dehumanizing effect Aaron Rodgers can have on opposing defenses.
No NFL quarterback is hotter entering the FOX America's Game...
