  • Lions end 19-game skid, beat Redskins (AP)

    Washington Redskins defensive lineman Lorenzo Alexander(notes) (79) and defensive end Brian Orakpo(notes) watch from the bench during the closing minutes of an NFL football game against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Detroit, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2009.

    Matthew Stafford held his head down on the bench for the final snap. Dominic Raiola couldn't watch, either, fearing a 20th loss in a row and 100th setback of his nine-season career. When Detroit's leaders looked up and saw Washington was out of time, they saw what they were hoping to see Sunday.
