Before today, the Detroit Lions most recently won a regular-season game on December 23, 2007. Today, after 19 consecutive losses, the streak finally ended.
Lions End 19-Game Skid, Piece Together 1-Game Winning Streak vs. Redskins
Despite 341 passing yards from Jason Campbell, the Redskins made only two trips to the red zone, and were penalized for 97 yards. The Lions, meanwhile, balanced their passing and running games well. Matt Stafford threw for 241 yards and a touchdown, while running back Kevin Smith produced 101 yards from 16 carries.
Mercifully, the Lions' losing streak ended seven games shy of the record, held by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
