ALLEN PARK, Mich. Its not going to happen in Detroit because Matthew Stafford is clearly established as the face of the franchise.
But Shaun Hill is good enough to get a quarterback controversy started in other places.

In overtime, the Titans hit a field goal to go up 44-41. When the Lions had the ball on fourth and one, they surprisingly just gave quarterback Shaun Hill the ball to try to get the first down instead of sending in the kicker and playing for the tie.
