2013 PRESEASON
vs. New York Jets -- Akers gets a workout with six field goals, and Hill finds Bush for the only TD(39 yards late in the first). The Lions roll 25-3, proving that it's only pre-season. Three interceptions for the defense, including one by rookie CB Slay -- that's a good sign for certain. On the other hand, Stafford was very ineffective and broke a finger(2 weeks).
@ Cleveland -- Favored despite being on the road, and a matchup of the two worst franchises in the league. A tight, low-scoring game, Stafford finds Brandon Pettigrew from 14 yards out to start the second quarter. It's the only TD of the game as the defense does not get pushed inside the 25 once. We have not allowed a touchdown through two games!
vs. New England -- The Patriots are favored to drill us(11 points). It wasn't that close. Tom Brady finds Blount for a 17-yard score on their opening drive, and they went on to crush us 33-6. They got a pick-six and we went into the red zone twice without getting into the endzone ... aside from Brady, we just made way too many mistakes.
@ Buffalo -- Favored by a field goal in this one. The Bills jumped out 13-0, but Shaun Hill hits Burleson and Willis with second-half TD passes, and we rally for a 24-16 victory. Another miserable game for Stafford(2-7, 21 yards). If he keeps playing like this, we might have to think about starting Hill.
