Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Barry Sanders, Lem Barney, Billy Sims, Bubba Baker, Brett Perriman and Roy Williams among the former Lions players expected back Sunday night for the franchise's alumni weekend. Not on the expected alumni list -- Calvin Johnson. Though, is not a surprise.

Matthew Stafford stretching out. He does a lot of arm circling to loosen up muscles and joints. Also does some finger wiggling and elbow movement.

Lions inactives: WR Kenny Golladay, LT Greg Robinson, OL Emmett Cleary, RB Tion Green, RB Zach Zenner, CB Teez Tabor, LB Paul Worrilow.

Golden Tate is ACTIVE tonight. So are Jace Billingsley and Dwayne Washington.

'The red zone is for winners;' the Detroit Lions weren't vs. Steelers.
Freep

The Lions ran 16 plays inside the Steelers? 20-yard line Sunday for 10 yards. They failed to punch the ball in three times from the 1 in the third quarter, and in the game?s biggest turn of events, gave up a back-breaking 97-yard touchdown pass.

Stafford threw for a season-high 423 yards, but he completed 2-for-11 passes for 6 yards in the red zone and took one sack.

He was stopped for a 1-yard loss on a fourth-and-goal scramble play with 4:31 left in the third quarter that seemed to suck the life out of the Ford Field fans.
