• In the inaugural meeting—the 1971 Thanksgiving Day classic— K Errol Mann contributed three field goals while QB Greg Landry threw touchdown passes to TE Charlie Sanders and E Earl McCullouch in a 32-21 Lions' win. RB Ed Podolak scored all three touchdowns for the Chiefs.

• In the first regular season meeting between the two teams at the Silverdome, Detroit dominated defensively and claimed a 27-10 Thanksgiving Day win in 1981 at the Silverdome. The Lions held Kansas City's top-ranked rushing attack to just 116 yards, and sacked Chiefs' quarterbacks five times.

• The Lions hold a 6-4 preseason edge in the series against the Chiefs, and have won five of the last six preseason matchups. The two teams met August 23, 1975 in an exhibition affair that kicked off the opening of the Pontiac Silverdome. Detroit won the contest 27-24.

• This is the fourth and final AFC West opponent the Lions face this year and they are going for their third win in those games. Detroit fell at Denver, 20-16, in September, defeated Oakland, 23-13, on November 2 and fell 14-7 to San Diego last weekend.

2003 DETROIT LIONS PRESS RELEASE

LAST GAME KANSAS CITY 31, DETROIT 21; SEPTEMBER 26, 1999 ARROWHEAD STADIUM Detroit lost its first game of the 1999 season, a 31-21 decision to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Lions QB Charlie Batch was under heavy pressure throughout the game (four sacks and numerous pressures) and the Chiefs, who never trailed, ground out 155 rushing yards and featured an efficient passing attack, completing 20-of-29 attempts for 235 yards on the day. The teams exchanged punts on the game's first five series, but the Chiefs forged to a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter on a 15-yard pass from QB Elvis Grbac-to-TE Tony Gonzalez. Detroit pulled even for the only time in the game midway through the second quarter as rookie RB Sedrick Irvin darted in from 16 yards out for his first career touchdown. Moments later, however, Chiefs RB Rashaan Shehee scored from six yards out and K Pete Stoyanovich booted a 51-yard field goal with a second remaining in the second quarter to give Kansas City a 17-7 halftime cushion. That lead bulged to 24-7 in the third quarter when Grbac found a stretched-out WR Joe Horn from 25 yards out. Detroit answered on their next possession as Batch hit TE Walter Rasby in the endzone from three yards out to pull to within 24-13 (PAT failed). The teams traded touchdowns in the fourth quarter as RB Donnell Bennett pounded in from seven yards out early in the quarter, and RB Ron Rivers scored on a 31-yard screen play (two-point conversion was good) to end the scoring. LIONS-CHIEFS CONNECTIONS Lions CB Dré Bly and WR Az-Zahir Hakim played for Chiefs Head Coach Dick Vermeil, DBs Coach Peter Giunta and DL Coach Carl Hairston for the St. Louis Rams and won a Super Bowl title following the 1999 season… Bly and Hakim were teammates of Kansas City QB Trent Green and CB Dexter McCleon with the Rams in 1999-00… Hakim played with Chiefs WR Eddie Kennison in St. Louis in 1998… Green and Chiefs LB Shawn Barber played with Lions DT Dan Wilkinson in Washington in 1998 while Detroit strength and conditioning coaches Malcolm Blacken and Jason Arapoff and Head Trainer Al Bellamy were with the Redskins… Wilkinson, Arapoff, Blacken and Bellamy were also in Washington with Chiefs Offensive Assistant Jason Verduzco in 2000… Lions Secondary Coach Ray Horton, Arapoff, Blacken.

Transactions Since Breaking Training Camp Injuries have forced the Lions to make several transactions this season since the team broke training camp on August 15. The Lions have acquired 13 players (24.5 percent of the active roster) currently on the team’s active roster since that point due mostly to injury.

Through 14 weeks of the NFL season, the Lions lead the league with the most players placed on the Reserve/Injured list in the league with 13.

Of the 13 Lions’ players placed on the reserve/injured list, eight (CB Chris Cash, CB André Goodman, S Corey Harris, WR Shawn Jefferson, P John Jett, WR Charles Rogers, RB James Stewart and LB Brian Williams) were projected to start or starting at their respective positions when suffering their season-ending injuries, and one, WR Scotty Anderson, was the team’s leading receiver when he went down.

One position that has undergone a significant amount of change is the cornerback position. Heading into the training camp, Dré Bly, Chris Cash, André Goodman and Chris Watson were slated as the team’s top four corners. Just three games into the regular season, the Lions had lost the services of Cash, Goodman and Watson due to injury. To fill the need at the cornerback spot, the Lions have signed five cornerbacks (Roderick Babers, Doug Evans, Alex Molden, Jacoby Shepherd and Otis Smith) since September 2. Babers has since been placed in the Reserve/Injured list while Shepherd and Molden have been released. Due to injuries, Smith has moved into a starting role at cornerback and Doug Evans filled in as a starter vs. Oakland (11/20) and vs. Chicago (11/9) as Dré Bly was inactive due to a hamstring injury.

WR/KR Reggie Swinton was claimed off waivers on October 10 to fill the void at punt and kick returner left by the ankle and knee injuries to WR/KR Eddie Drummond that he suffered against Minnesota (9/21).

Rookie WR Charles Rogers went down with a broken collarbone during the bye week (10/7) and missed eight games before being put on the Reserve/Injured list on December 2 after it was determined he would not be able to return in 2003. Fourth-year WR James Williams was signed to take Rogers’ spot on the roster.

LAST WEEK SAN DIEGO 14, DETROIT 7; DECEMBER 7, 2003 FORD FIELD The Detroit Lions (4-9) were unable to follow up their big performance on Thanksgiving Day as they fell 14-7 to the San Diego Chargers (2-10) at Ford Field. On the Chargers second possession of the game, San Diego drove 70 yards on nine plays, capped off by QB Doug Flutie connecting with RB LaDainian Tomlinson for a 16-yard touchdown to give San Diego a 7-0 lead. The Lions defense came up with a big play with the Chargers threatening deep in Detroit territory, when rookie S Terrence Holt stepped in front of a Flutie pass and intercepted it at the 11-yard-line. Later in the second quarter, San Diego took a 14-0 lead when Flutie hit Tomlinson again for a touchdown, this time a 73-yard score. On the Chargers’ next possession, Detroit’s defense came up big again when DE James Hall stripped Flutie of the ball and it was picked up by LB Jeff Gooch and taken back to the Detroit 41-yard-line. The Lions moved the ball down the field, but would run out of time as WR Bill Schroeder was tackled five yards short of the end zone as the half ended. Detroit’s defense shut down the Chargers for the entire second half, allowing no points and just 70 yards of total offense. QB Joey Harrington found rookie TE Casey FitzSimmons for a four-yard touchdown to get the Lions on the board in the fourth quarter, capping off an 11-play, 83-yard drive that took 6:33 off the clock and made it 14-7. The Lions late drive for a game-tying touchdown fell short when Harrington’s Hail Mary pass fell to the ground on the last play of the game. MARIUCCI TURNOVER IMPACT Head Coach Steve Mariucci brings both a mentality and a proven record when it comes to preaching ball security. His “Four Points of Pressure” drills and speeches are important coaching techniques that have helped his teams accumulate one of the lowest turnover ratios among all NFL teams since the 1970 merger. (Following statistical information courtesy Elias Sports Bureau). • In 109 regular season games, Mariucci’s teams accumulated the

second-best turnover rate since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger with 1.47 giveaways (interceptions and fumbles) per game

• Detroit has only lost two fumbles in 2003, including a muffed punt, which is the fewest in the NFL.

• The Lions did not turn the ball over in their regular season opening game against the Arizona Cardinals, at the Denver Broncos, at home against the Chicago Bears or vs. San Diego.

HARRINGTON’S PROGRESSIONS Lions QB Joey Harrington will make his 26th career start this Sunday when the Lions play the Chiefs at Arrowhead. Harrington matched a career high last week against the Chargers with 26 completions and completed 11 consecutive passes between the second and third quarters. He had an outstanding performance against the Arizona Cardinals (9/7), throwing a career high four-touchdown passes and was selected for NFC Offensive Player of the Week and NFL FedEx Express Player of the Week honors for games played on NFL Kickoff 2003 Weekend (September 4, 7-8).

Through 13 games this season, Harrington has already surpassed his totals from the 2002 season in completions (260), attempts (474), passing yards (2,428) and touchdowns (13).

Harrington completed his fourth career fourth-quarter comeback win in the Lions’ 22-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers in front of a national TV audience on Thanksgiving Day (11/27). Trailing 14-13 going into the final quarter, the Lions outscored Green Bay 9-0 down the stretch for the victory. In the game Harrington had his career-best completion percentage (65.6) on 21-of-32 passes, including completing 10 of his first 11.

2003 DETROIT LIONS PRESS RELEASE

Family Ties Many members of the Lions are related to other players around the NFL:

Lions’ rookie LB Boss Bailey is the younger brother of Washington Redskins three-time Pro Bowl CB Champ Bailey. Both starred at the University of Georgia.

The younger brother of Lions T Stockar McDougle will be suiting up for the Philadelphia Eagles this season. Jerome McDougle, a defensive end, was selected in the first round by Philadelphia. McDougle’s cousin, Tyrone Carter, is a safety for the New York Jets.

Lions rookie S Terrence Holt followed older brother Torry’s steps into the NFL. Torry Holt currently stars at wide receiver for the St. Louis Rams.

QB Ty Detmer isn’t the only quarterback in his family playing in the NFL. His brother, Koy Detmer, is entering his seventh season as a quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles.

In the Lions’ game at Minnesota (11/23), Harrington showed

his ability to run with two rushes for 34 yards, including a career-long 26-yarder. Both runs went for first downs and Harrington was the team’s leading rusher for the game.

Harrington had his longest career completion and longest career touchdown pass when he connected with WR Scotty Anderson for 72 yards in the first quarter against the Seattle Seahawks (11/16). It was the Lions’ longest offensive play since 2001 when then-Lions WR Johnnie Morton had a 76-yard reception at Arizona (11/18)

Accuracy has been one of the points of emphasis this season in Harrington’s improvement, notably signified by his completion percentage. His numbers are progressing as he gains more experience in the West Coast offense. On the season, Harrington’s completion rate is 54.8 (260-of-474); an improvement over 50.1 (215-of-429) during his rookie year.

Harrington’s biggest improvement has come during his the last seven games, as he has completed of tally of 57.9 percent of his passes (154-of-266), compared to 51.0 percent (106-of-208) in the first six games of the season.

Known for his 10 fourth-quarter, come-from-behind heroics at the University of Oregon, Harrington added to his NFL total, engineering his third fourth quarter come-from-behind win of his career as he led the Lions to a 12-10 win over the Bears on Sunday. On the game-winning drive, Harrington was 5-of-6 on pass attempts, accounting for all 35 yards (seven plays) which led to a game-winning 48-yard field goal. As a rookie in 2002, Harrington directed an eight-play, 38-yard drive with under two minutes remaining to set up K Jason Hanson’s 43-yard game-winning field goal vs. Dallas (11/3/02). He helped set up a Hanson 24-yard field goal to push the game into overtime and an eventual Lions win, while trailing 17-20 with 2:21 remaining, as he completed five consecutive passes for 73 yards during the drive to put Detroit in position for the short field goal.

After 13 games, Harrington leads the NFL with the lowest sacks/pass play ratio with eight sacks per 482 pass plays, including 474 attempts (1.66%). Among league passers in 2002, Harrington had the lowest sack per pass attempt percentage (eight sacks/429 attempts for 1.83%) in the NFL.

With 16 sacks in 27 career games, he is currently the NFL’s all-time sacks-per-pass-attempt-percentage leader (17 sacks/857 att. for 1.98%) ahead of: Steve Walsh (40 sacks/1,317 att. for 3.04%), Dan Marino (270 sacks/8,358 att. for 3.23%), Doug Williams (84 sacks/2,507 att. for 3.35%) and Mark Rypien (97 sacks/2,613 att. for 3.71%).

Against Arizona (9/7), Harrington tossed a career high four touchdown passes in the Lions 42-24 season-opening win at Ford Field. He was 17-of-30 (56.7%) for 195 yards with no interceptions and no sacks. His 116.0 QB rating was a single-game career high as well. Harrington became the first Lions’ QB to throw four touchdowns in a game since Scott Mitchell had four vs. Chicago on September 22, 1996.

DEMOLITION MAN FB Cory Schlesinger, who is ranked third amongst NFL fullbacks with 30 receptions, has blossomed in the Lions’ West Coast offense and continues to prove that he is arguably one of the league’s best all-around fullbacks. On December 19th, 2002, Schlesinger was named an alternate to the 2003 Pro Bowl. His toughness was put on display during the middle of the 2002 season after he continued playing while he had several cracked vertebrae. He is a key component of the Lions' running game as a bruising blocking back and is an important part of the team’s passing attack. He was the 2002 Mike Utley Spirit Award winner.

Shutdown Corner CB Dré Bly has been the outstanding performer on the Lions defense this season, as he is regularly matched up against the opponent’s top receiver throughout the game. One example of his Pro Bowl worthy play was his ability to shut down Vikings’ perennial all-pro WR Randy Moss.

Schlesinger led the team with four receptions for 53 yards in the

Lions 23-13 win over the Raiders (11/2), one of which was a 33-yard touchdown and the second-longest reception of his career. He also helped the Lions ground game rush for over 100 yards for the second time this season.

Against the Cardinals, Schlesinger had three receptions for 30 yards, including a four-yard touchdown. He also pulled in a key 20-yard pass to put the Lions at the four-yard line to help setup a Lions touchdown and a 35-24 lead.

In 2002, Schlesinger was a major reason RB James Stewart and the Lions’ offensive unit grounded out 192 yards on 39 rushing attempts (4.9 avg.) vs. Chicago (10/20/02). His lead blocks, including several on Pro Bowler Brian Urlacher, allowed Stewart to churn out a career-high 172 yards rushing.

During the inaugural game at Ford Field vs. Green Bay (9/22/02), Schlesinger's one-yard touchdown run marked the fifth rushing touchdown of his career. It also marked the first rushing touchdown in Ford Field history

In 2001, Schlesinger was the Lions’ second-leading receiver with 60 receptions for 466 yards (both career highs) and ninth among all NFL running backs. He had the highest tally of any fullback in the NFC and was second only to Larry Centers for the most receptions by a fullback in the entire NFL.

PORCHER’S PRESSURES DE Robert Porcher is the Lions’ leader in career quarterback sacks with 95.5. He surpassed former Lions DE Al “Bubba” Baker’s previous record of 75.5 career QB takedowns in 2001. Porcher has been named to three of the last seven Pro Bowls (1998, 2000, 2002), and had a solid 2002 season, recording 51 tackles (33 solo), 5.5 sacks, four passes defensed, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles in 15 games played. In his 12th season with the Lions in 2003, he will move ahead Dick LeBeau this Sunday for third place in Lions’ history with 186 games played.

In the Lions’ 22-14 win over Green Bay on Thanksgiving (11/27), Porcher sacked QB Brett Favre twice, the ninth and 10th times that he has brought down Favre, which is the most he has sacked any quarterback in his career. It also gave Porcher multiple sacks in two straight games for the first time since November 12 and 19, 2000, and it was the 24th time in his career that he had more than one sack in a game.

Porcher collected a Lions’ season-high two sacks at Minnesota (11/23), when he hauled down QB Daunte Culpepper, once on third down and forcing a fumble on the other. It was Porcher’s 23rd career game with multiple sacks.

After sitting out against the Oakland Raiders (11/2), Porcher had a big game against the Chicago Bears (11/9). He finished with six solo tackles, including one for a loss and had a knockdown and two quarterback pressures.

Porcher has 24 career games notching more than one sack and his 664 career tackles are ranked seventh in Lions’ history.

Porcher scored his first career touchdown in the 2002 season finale vs. Minnesota (12/29) on a fumble recovery in the endzone.

One of his most dominating performances of 2002 came against Dallas (11/3) when he finished with two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery as well as six tackles (five solo).

DR. DRÉ… AIN’T NUTHIN’ BUT AN “INT” THANG When the Lions acquired CB Dré Bly they were targeting a big play corner, and so far he has turned in a Pro Bowl season. Bly arrived in Detroit this past off-season in the prime of his career, after playing his first full season (16 games) as a starter for the St. Louis Rams in 2002. He played in two Super Bowls with St. Louis, helping the Rams win Super Bowl XXXIV as a rookie. Bly was selected by the Rams in the second round (41st overall) of the 1999 NFL Draft out of the University of North Carolina. He holds the ACC career record with 20 interceptions and as a freshman was the ACC rookie of the year, setting a conference record with 11 interceptions.

In eight of the 11 games Bly has played this season he has

recorded at least one forced fumble, fumble recovery or interception. He recovered a fumble against San Diego (12/7), giving him a career-high three on the season.

In front of a national TV audience against division-rival Green Bay on Thanksgiving Day (11/27), Bly turned in one of the most dominating performances of his career. He intercepted future Hall-of-Fame QB Brett Favre twice, forced a fumble that was recovered by the Lions and had three pass defenses, including knocking down Favre’s Hail Mary attempt at the end of the game to preserve the Lions’ win. The two interceptions in the game by Bly are a career-high and it was the first time since October 19, 2000 (Bryant Westbrook at Tampa Bay) that a Lions player has recorded more than one interception in a game. It was also the first time in Bly’s career that he forced a fumble in consecutive games. For his efforts he received FOX’s second annual ‘Galloping Gobbler’ Award for player of the game.

Bly’s six interceptions this season tie his career-high which he set in 2001 while with the St. Louis Rams. He is now tied for fifth in the NFL in that category.

At Minnesota (11/23), Bly stripped Vikings RB Moe Williams, picked up the fumble and ran 44 yards down the sideline before pitching the ball to teammate S Corey Harris who ran the final 35 yards for the touchdown. The play earned NFL Play of the Week - Presented by LEVITRA honors. Bly added to that play by shutting down Vikings’ all-pro WR Randy Moss, who only caught 5 passes for 56 yards and no touchdowns.

Bly started off his career playing in 71 consecutive games before missing back-to-back games against Oakland (11/2) and Chicago (11/9) with a hamstring injury.

Bly recovered a fumble by Cowboys RB Troy Hambrick, who was stripped by S Corey Harris, and returned it 67 yards for a touchdown against Dallas (10/19) at Ford Field. It was the second time in his career he returned a fumble recovery for a touchdown. His first was last season, while with the Rams, against the San Francisco 49ers (12/30) which he returned 20 yards for a touchdown. Bly is the first player to have two defensive touchdowns for the Lions in a season since CB Terry Fair scored two (1 Int, 1 Fum) 1999.

Also against the Cowboys, Bly held WR Joey Galloway to zero catches.

Against San Francisco (10/5), Bly intercepted his fourth pass of the season.

Bly led the Detroit defense with 10 tackles (eight solo) against the Denver Broncos (9/28), his highest tackling output since joining the Lions.

Bly recorded interceptions in each of his first three games for the Lions, the first of which he returned 48 yards for a touchdown. His second interception came when he intercepted Green Bay QB Brett Favre to end a scoring threat with only 39 seconds left in the first half at Green Bay. Against the Vikings, he intercepted a pass early in the third quarter that led to a Lions’ field goal. Bly intercepted a pass in three consecutive games for the first time in his career.

Also against the Vikings, Bly recorded the third sack of his career and first in a Lions uniform.

Bly has 20 interceptions for 319 yards in his career. He has returned four of his 18 interceptions for touchdowns with all four returns coming from 48 yards or more (48, 53, 56, and 93).

One of Bly’s best games as a pro was on Monday Night Football game against the Lions in 2001. He had a career-high 11 tackles (seven solo) and returned an intercepted pass from Lions QB Ty Detmer 93 yards for a Rams touchdown (10/8/01).

PRIEFER’S PRIDE Since Coach Chuck Priefer arrived in Detroit to take over the Lions special teams in 1997, the Lions have ranked among the league’s best and the 2003 season has been no different.

Detroit’s punt return and punt coverage teams have been consistent throughout the season. The Lions are the sixth-best punt coverage team in the league, allowing just 6.9 yards per return while averaging 10.3 yards on their own returns. The NFL average in punt returns is 9.4 yards.

The Lions are one of only three teams in the NFL (Kansas City and Chicago) to have both a kick return and punt return go for a touchdown this season.

The field goal rush team of the Lions has established itself as an elite this season as it ranks fourth in the NFL in field goal average allowed. Opponents have made just 12-of-18 (.667) field goal attempts this season. Detroit leads the league having yielded only 12 field goals on the season.

Detroit has blocked two field goals and is one of only five teams in the league to have more than one block this season (Carolina 3; New England 2; Tampa Bay; Kansas City 2). DE Jared DeVries blocked the first field goal of his career in the Lions’ 12-10 win over Chicago (11/9) when he got a hand on Paul Edinger’s 48-yard attempt in the second quarter to keep the score tied at 3-3. In the Lions’ game at Chicago (10/26), DE James Hall blocked a 32-yard attempt by Edinger to keep Detroit within striking distance.

In the first game of the year, KR/PR Eddie Drummond helped key the Lions victory over the Arizona Cardinals (9/7) after he took back a punt 57 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 21-21 and then forced a muffed punt on the Cardinals next return which set up the go-ahead score.

In just his second game for the Lions, KR/PR Reggie Swinton put the Lions on the board at Chicago (10/26) with a 96-yard kick return for a touchdown.

A 61-yard kick return by Swinton in the fourth quarter of the game against Oakland (11/2) was crucial as it put the Lions in prime field position to allow K Jason Hanson to ice the win with a field goal.

GETTING A KICK OUT OF HANSON In two-time Pro Bowler K Jason Hanson, the Lions are blessed with one of the NFL's top all-around kickers. He is deadly accurate inside the 50-yard line, hitting 18-of-19 overall and 3-of-3 from 50+ yards out. With his two extra points at Minnesota (11/23), Hanson became the 25th player in NFL history to score 1,200 career points. In 2002 vs. Minnesota (10/13), he became the Lions’ all-time franchise leader in field goals after nailing the 245th of his career, surpassing former Lions great Eddie Murray.

Hanson was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November after converting on 12-of-13 field goal attempts, including all 12 in the Lions’ three wins.

Hanson finished off an impressive November when he booted five field goals against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day (11/27), including the game-winner early in the fourth quarter which was his 14th career game-winning kick. Among his 14 game-winning boots, 10 have been 42 yards or longer. He made all five of his field goal attempts (42, 28, 49, 46 and 32) on the day, only the third time in his career that he has tallied five-or-more field goals and the first since he had six against Minnesota on October 19, 1999. His 16 points in the game were the most he had since that game against the Vikings in 1999 and was the second-highest game total in his career.

Hanson’s four field goals (24, 25, 30 and 48) totaled all of the Lions’ points scored in the team’s come-from-behind 12-10 win over the Chicago Bears (11/9) at Ford Field. It was the 15th time in his career that he has made at least four field goals in a game. The Lions are 14-2 (.875) when he hits four-or-more field goals in a game and 28-9 (.757) when he kicks three-or-more field goals in a game. He was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts against the Bears.

Lions’ Headquarters & Training Facility The Ford family not only made a commitment to bring the pride of the Detroit Lions back into downtown Detroit with the construction of Ford Field, but they also decided that the new training and practice facility would be rivaled by no other team in the National Football League. The Lions' $35.5 million headquarters and training facility was built on a 22.7-acre parcel and is located just west of Detroit between Allen Park and Dearborn. In fact, the new facility is just down the street from Ford Motor Co.'s World Headquarters. The franchise broke ground on the new state-of-the-art facility in August 2000 and moved into its new digs in March 2002. The 460,000 square foot complex includes a full indoor practice field, 2.5 outdoor practice fields, a state-of-the art weight and training room, a massive locker room, a hydrotherapy room, a spacious equipment room, a cafeteria, meeting rooms for each position, a player lounge, a 103-person auditorium for full team meetings and large press conferences, a studio, a library and archive room, a media room and offices for all personnel. In an effort to keep the environment clean, William Clay Ford Jr. also made sure the building was built with renewable and recyclable products. The bamboo floors in the lobby, latex paint and rubber flooring have all contributed to this cause. The facility also provides a full-size indoor field and 2.5 fields outside so the team has plenty of space for team practices.

Hanson’s 48-yard field goal with 39 seconds remaining in

the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bears (11/9) marked the 13th game-winning (fourth-quarter or overtime) kick of his career

Hanson’s 13 field goals were the most consecutive field goals he has made to begin a season in his career. He holds the Lions’ record for most consecutive field goals made during any stretch with 24 in 1997. Overall, Hanson had made 14 consecutive field goals before his miss at Minnesota (11/23), with his last miss before that coming at Atlanta (12/22/02).

At Ford Field, Hanson is 32-for-34 on field goal attempts (.941), which included four fourth-quarter or OT game-winners and a long of 54 yards. His two only misses were attempts from 55 and 57 yards (both in 2002).

With a 54-yard field goal against Oakland (11/2), Hanson has 24 career field goals of 50-yards or more which is the third-best in NFL history. His 54-yard field goal was his fifth career kick of at least 54 yards.

Hanson will play in his 190th consecutive game this week which ranks second all-time in the Lions’ record books for most games played. Hanson has never missed a game in his 12-year stint with Detroit.

Hanson ranks first in field goals made for the franchise (280), field goals attempted (348) and points scored (1,217). He is also second on two of the Lions’ major career scoring and kicking records. His career totals of 377 extra points and 381 extra points attempted trail Eddie Murray’s career totals. Murray’s career totals include 244 field goals in 325 attempts, 1,113 points scored and 381 extra points in 386 attempts.

With a last minute injury to P John Jett, Hanson was called into duty as the team’s punter against the San Francisco 49ers (10/5) – his first full game as a punter. Hanson punted seven times, one of which was downed inside-the-20, for 264 (37.7 avg.) yards and a career-long of 50 yards.

Hanson made his 23rd career field goal from 50 yards or longer at Denver (9/28) when he hit a 52-yarder at INVESCO Field at Mile High. In doing so, he became the third player in NFL history to accomplish that feat.

On the first extra point Hanson kicked at Arizona (11/18/01) he became the second player in Lions' history to score 1,000 career points. The first player in Lions’ history to reach that mark was Eddie Murray, who scored 1,113 points during his 12-year career (1980-91) in Detroit.

FORD FIELD The 2002 season marked a new era in Detroit Lions history when the team opened its new downtown Detroit stadium, Ford Field, one of the most impressive sports and entertainment venues ever built. The Lions’ home is an incomparable 65,000-seat facility that includes a giant glass wall, revealing the picturesque Detroit skyline, and the old Hudson’s Warehouse, originally built in 1920. The massive project encompasses a total of 1.85 million square feet of development. The old Hudson’s Warehouse, a major cornerstone of Ford Field, houses most of the stadium luxury seats, press box, restaurants, food courts, lounge areas, banquet facilities, entertainment venues and commercial space. The inclusion of the warehouse into the stadium project allows the sightlines at Ford Field to be among the very best in the NFL. On November 1, 2000, the NFL selected Ford Field to be the host site of Super Bowl XL to be played February 5, 2006. It will mark the first Super Bowl in the Detroit Metro area since the Pontiac Silverdome was the site for Super Bowl XVI, played January 24, 1982.
