Local Media Optimistic About Lions Chances of Not Losing on Sunday

Detroit Free-Press sports writer Nicholas Cotsonika is predicting that the Lions will get their first win since December 23, 2007 this Sunday against the Redskins:

↵↵You heard it here first: The Lions will snap their losing streak next week against Washington. They showed some improvement Sunday, while the Redskins were unimpressive in a 9-6 victory over lowly St. Louis.

↵↵First of all, the Skins won 9-7, which would probably only help Cotsonika’s claim.

↵Secondly, perhaps the Lions showed some improvement, but they still lost by two touchdowns; the Skins won their game.

↵Lastly, as a Redskins fan, I find this prognostication to be completely and utterly … possible. God, that’s terrifying.
