Lions become first 0-15 team

NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. expects the Detroit Lions to pick either Georgia QB Matthew Stafford or Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford with the No. 1 pick if one or both elect to leave school early.

Stafford may have more to ponder than his love for Athens and his best financial interests though — because the team he could join, the Lions, now own a dubious piece of NFL history.

Detroit became the first 0-15 team ever when it was routed 42-7 by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Lions will try to avoid an perfectly awful season in the finale at Green Bay, where they haven’t won since 1991.

The Lions were outscored by a combined 176 points at home this season, smashing the previous record of 146 set by the 1981 Colts.

Detroit benched QB Dan Orlovsky early in the fourth quarter after he completed just 10 of 23 passes for 125 yards and two interceptions.

Drew Stanton entered and was 1-of-3 for 12 yards.

It got so ugly fans mockingly in the half-empty stadium chanted “Jo-ey! Jo-ey!” in reference to New Orleans’ third-string quarterback Joey Harrington, who was the first of many first-round busts Detroit drafted during its miserable eight-season stretch.
