Lions Might Not Sell Out For First Time In 51 Games

Detroit Free Press - The Lions are in jeopardy of not selling out for the first time since before Ford Field opened in Detroit, a streak of 51 games.

About 6,000 tickets remain for Sunday's game against Washington.

If the winless Lions don't sell out, the game will be blacked out on local television.

"That's our fault," Coach Rod Marinelli said. "That's my fault. If we were playing better and if we were executing better and were winning more, then they would come."

The players agree with Marinelli.

"It's up to us to change that," quarterback Dan Orlovsky said. "The people of this city deserve a winner. People have been saying that for 40 years. And until they get it, they're not going to be happy." [READ]
