Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford got in some cornerback drills Sunday. Following two picks, Stafford had to turn and run hard in the opposite direction to try to prevent interception returns for touchdowns.
He failed twice. The Lions gave up two pick-sixes in the 38-10 drubbing. The performance can be summed up in two pictures – Stafford trying to fight off a herd of Cards’ blockers…and the Cardinals defense outscoring the Lions offense two touchdowns to one.
The Lions are now 4-10.

If you hadn’t done so already, you certainly jumped ship on the Detroit Lions after Sunday’s 38-10 drubbing in Arizona.
Coming into the game favored by a touchdown and facing a team that has been forced into starting rookie sixth-round pick Ryan Lindley at quarterback, it seemed as though the Lions would win this game.
Nothing could have been further from the truth.

There are 130 days until the NFL Draft.
Not much else to look forward to at this point for the Detroit Lions.
When you lose to one of the laughingstocks of the NFL, you become the laughingstock, dont you?

Lions cornerback Jacob Lacey will likely miss the rest of this season due to a knee injury he sustained during a 38-10 loss against the Arizona Cardinals yesterday. Coach Jim Schwartz would not elaborate on Lacey's injury, but it appears very likely the cornerback will not play in Detroit's final...

A year after finally making the playoffs, the Lions are right back where they were for the last 10 years.And this places Jim Schwartz in the cross hairs. Last season, the Lions finished 10-6...
