Posted on 3 Oct 2012 by Matt Austin.
Another week. Another collapse on special teams for the Detroit Lions, who fell 20-13 to the Minnesota Vikings to lose their third consecutive contest and fall to 1-3.

Lions Fall Short to 49ers, Lose 27-19
Posted on 17 Sep 2012 by Matt Austin.
Showcased in the bright lights of Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions fell to the San Francisco 49ers a second consecutive year, 27-19, to fall to 1-1 to begin the 2012 season.
