Lions Drop 12th Straight in Metrodome

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Brett Favre passed for a season-high 344
yards, 201 to Sidney Rice, and the Minnesota Vikings beat the
Detroit Lions 27-10 on Sunday.
The Lions (1-8) joined the Houston Oilers, from Nov. 21, 1982
through Nov. 4, 1984, as the only NFL teams to lose 31 games in a
33-game stretch, according to STATS. They've played tough this
season several times, as the Vikings can attest, but after a slew
of injuries in this game and more poor pass coverage they dropped
their 12th straight at the Metrodome.
Adrian Peterson lost a fumble, one of three turnovers (one on
downs) by the Vikings inside the Detroit 20, but he turned 18
carries into 133 yards and two touchdowns for Minnesota (8-1).
