Did you know that the Detroit Lions was the first team to ever have a imperfect season?
DETROIT — The Detroit Lions somberly dressed after another defeat that was different than all the others.
This one made NFL history and set the stage for a perfectly imperfect season.
Detroit became the first 0-15 team when it was routed 42-7 by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
"Awful, embarrassing," Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky said. "We stunk. Any bad adjective you can use, throw it in there."
The Lions try to avoid the dubious distinction of finishing 0-16 at Green Bay, where they haven't won since 1991.
"It's very real," center Dominic Raiola said. "It's right there in front of us.
"It's pretty sad that its come to this."
Drew Brees threw for 351 yards and two touchdowns after four Saints ran for scores in the first half in their first game since they were eliminated from playoff contention. more
