Pat Caputo: Finally, The Lions Had Will And Found A Way
Time will tell whether the Lions, as they are currently constructed - with Jim Schwartz as head coach, Matthew Stafford at quarterback and Ndamukong Suh as minister of defense - will turn around more than five decades of unprecedented NFL misfortune.
But if it transpires, don't be surprised if the Lions' 37-25 victory over the Washington Redskins Sunday at Ford Field is looked upon as a turning point.
Now that was a football team. Not one that necessarily overwhelmed the opposition, but rather one that overcame moments of adversity.
