Lions quarterback Shaun Hill is accusing the Patriots of playing dirty on Thursday afternoon. Hill believes the Patriots tried to re-break his left arm during a sneak play, according to a report. During the second quarter, Hill ran a quarterback sneak from New England's two-yard line and extended his arms toward the goal line. He had been playing with a fracture in his non-throwing forearm suffered against the Giants five weeks ago and said he felt someone in the scrum trying to work over his limb on Sunday. "That's why I eventually gave up the ball," Hill said, according to Mlive.com. "Somebody was down there [in the pile] literally trying to break my arm, which is already broken. Literally, trying. And, uh, y'know, I guess [it] wasn't seen [by officials]."

The Bills defeated the Lions 14-12 on Sunday to earn their first victory of the season. Detroit also lost their NFL-record 25th straight road game in the process. Fred Jackson ran for a season-best 133 yards and scored twice as Buffalo finally got into the win column.

The Lions are looking to give rookie running back Jahvid Best some different looks offensively. Detroit has run a handful of plays out of pistol sets in almost every game this season and they could feature the formation even more than usual Sunday against the Bills. "The more and more we run it, the more and more I understand it and I think it's got some merit for us, especially with Jahvid Best at running back," Scott Linehan said. "We're at the infant stages of it, but there's going to be things about it that are going to be good for us as we kind of stick with it."

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will meet with Dr. James Andrews on Monday to have his right shoulder examined. Detroit coach Jim Schwartz says he doesn't know if a decision about Stafford's status this season will be made at that time. Stafford separated his throwing shoulder in Week 1 and missed five games. He aggravated the injury last Sunday against the Jets.

The Lions claimed rookie quarterback Zac Robinson off waivers from the Seahawks on Tuesday. Robinson, who played at Oklahoma State, was drafted by the Patriots in the seventh round (250th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. There have been reports that Detroit starter Matthew Stafford could miss the remainder of the season with a right shoulder injury.

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford injured his throwing shoulder on Sunday and although he won't require surgery, some in the organization are worried that he may be done for the season. Stafford separated the same shoulder in the season opener and missed the next five games. MLive.com reported Tuesday that preliminary tests on Sunday showed Stafford had a Grade 3 separation of the shoulder.

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford won't need surgery on his right shoulder after injuring it on Sunday against the Jets. He injured the same shoulder once before. "He hurt the same shoulder," coach Jim Schwartz said Monday, "but from all accounts and from speaking to the doctors, it's not an aggravation of the old injury. It's a new injury. The old injury was healed and he was just as likely to hurt that shoulder as he was the other one." The original injury to his right (throwing) shoulder was a separation and it cost him six weeks and five games. "It's too early to tell," Schwartz said of how long Stafford would be out. "But there was no stacking (of the injuries), meaning it was no worse now because it was injured before. He's very sore. We hope to get the soreness out and get him back throwing, but we don't know when that will be. But we will err on the side of caution."

Lions quarterback Matt Stafford will have an MRI on his right shoulder on Monday, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Stafford left in the fourth quarter of Detroit's overtime loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.

Lions quarterback Matt Stafford left Sunday's overtime loss to the Jets with an apparent shoulder injury. With Detroit leading 20-10, Stafford was tackled trying to scramble and landed on his shoulder. He headed to the sideline with 5:19 to play Sunday and was replaced by Drew Stanton.

One would assume that the Jets would put No. 1 cornerback Darrelle Revis on Detroit's top receiver, Calvin Johnson, this Sunday, but that may not be the case. Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com writes that New York used the bigger Antonio Cromartie on Randy Moss a month ago, while Revis covered Minnesota slot man Percy Harvin. Cromartie did a good job on Moss, which could lead him to cover Johnson against Detroit.
