The Streak is Over!

The Lions finally won a road game against the Bears today. They narrowly beat them 24-20. They had previously lost 24 straight road games, an NFL record.

Bracy Walker was the hero for the Lions. When teammate Shaun Rogers blocked a third-quarter field goal attempt, Walker picked up the ball and ran it back for a 92 yard touchdown return. He then saved the game for them when Chicago was driving at the end of the game. With 18 seconds left he picked off Rex Grossman in the endzone to end the Bears' bid for a comeback. Along with Walker, Andre Goodman picked off a pass.

Joey Harrington looked decent going 14/26 for 187 yards. He threw one touchdown pass(to Hakim) and was also picked off once.

Rookie wideout Roy Williams caught 4 catches for 69 yards including a great one handed catch.

Jason Hanson kicked 2 field goals.

Now I come to the worst news of this game. Charles Rogers injured his collar bone again and could miss most of the season. Hopefully it isn't as serious as they think. Pro Bowl cornerback Dre Bly was also injured but his injury doesn't appear to be serious.

This was a great way to start the season, despite the injuries. The Lions' next game will be against the Houston Texans. It would be great if they could start the season at 2-0.
