ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions (3-5) return to the practice field today looking for ways to nip their two-game losing streak against Chicago (5-3) on Sunday. Here are five things to watch.
Can the Lions stop the bleeding? They've lost two straight and offloaded their No. 1 receiver in the process. Their defense has had their usual issues against the run, but the offense is coming unraveled too. They scored just one touchdown until the fourth quarter against Seattle -- by which point, they already trailed 28-7 -- and they didn't score any at all while getting mollywopped in Minnesota.
