| 23rd December, 2007 - 5:32 pm |  ESPN - The Detroit Lions took advantage of playing a team slumping more than them and avoided making NFL history.
T.J. Duckett ran for a season-high 102 yards and a touchdown, helping Detroit hold on for a 25-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Detroit had a 19-point lead in the first half, but the victory wasn't sealed until Chiefs receiver Samie Parker foolishly dived to the ground at the Lions 30 after getting a lateral with no time left.
The Lions (7-8) snapped a six-game losing streak and surpassed the most victories they've had in seven seasons under team president Matt Millen. Detroit also guaranteed it won't be the first team in the league to finish 6-10 after winning six of its first eight games.
Kansas City (4-11) has dropped eight straight, the franchise's worst skid since losing nine in a row in 1987. The Chiefs also lost for the 11th time this season, a first for the club since 1988. [READ] |
