Lions to unleash 'four-headed monster' in backfield, looking to avoid infamy

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions haven't had a 100-yard rusher since Thanksgiving. And it wasn't even last Thanksgiving, or the one before that, or the one before that or, well, you get the picture.

It was 2013. Reggie Bush turned 20 carries into 117 yards. He scored once, and the Lions lost. It was a nice day for him, but certainly nothing noteworthy -- except for the fact nobody has managed to hit triple-digits since.

That's 68 straight games heading into Monday night's opener against the New York Jets.

That's four off the NFL record.
