Pursuit Of Perfection Complete: Lions Go 0-and-16

It took some doing and some late-game heroics by the Green Bay Packers secondary, but the Detroit Lions have accomplished what few thought was even possible- going winless in the modern era of professional tackle football.

It takes a special group to pull off such a special feat, and while the Packers did their best to keep the honolulu blue in the game the Lions finished the job.

Special thanks go to two distinct groups- the defense for allowing the Packers 17 fourth quarter points and Kevin Smith who single-handedly took the team out of field goal position with an unsportsmanlike penalty during a drive in the fourth.

"No competitor wants to go through something like this,"
said Lions coach Rod Marinelli, who declined to discuss his future with the team. "This is not fun to go through, obviously. But there's people going through a lot worse than this."

The Detroit Free Press actually found some folks who had reasons to be thankful over this perfect season. They, obviously, lost their minds...
