The Streak Is Over At 19! Lions Win!!!

Boy, is Jim Zorn really FIRED!!!
The Detroit Lions 19-game losing streak is out, over, done and gone- thanks to the completely ineffective and even more inefficient Washington Redskins.

Matthew Stafford threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Bryant Johnson in the first quarter and the two connected to draw a key penalty to set up a TD in the fourth quarter.

The Lions (1-2) had not won since Dec. 23, 2007 and their skid matched the second longest in NFL history.

Washington (1-2) pulled within five points on Jason Campbell's second touchdown pass with 2:36 left in the game, but couldn't prevent the Lions from picking up a first down that ran time off the clock and cost it three timeouts.

The Redskins had their last of many chances to win from their 22 with 1:05 left and couldn't get inside the 20 before time expired.

Here's your post-game from Ford Field, thanks to our friends at Fox2
May the Schwartz be with you...

A few Skins fans blamed the presence of actor Tom Cruise, who was at Ford Field Sunday as a guest of coach Dan Snyder.

Those of us at OSG HQ like that idea...
A lot...
