After a tremendously disappointing 4-12 season last year, the Detroit Lions are looking to get back on track in 2013 and contend for a playoff spot.

For starters, Detroit should not...
ROAR RESTORED
Detroit Lions tackle Nick Fairley laid it all on the line for his team by claiming he believes the Motor City Kitties will be making it to the Super Bowl this season.
