    The Lions get one last shot ...

    New Orleans's ball on their 30 yard line. Fourth and less than 6 to go. 3:13 left in the fourth quarter. The score is Detroit 7, New Orleans 13.
    New Orleans's P1 #6 Tom Blanchard punts the ball past the goal line. The ball is down in the end zone for a touchback. Net punt yardage was 50 yards. First down, Detroit! First and 10 to go. That was PuntMe (968) against PR-cb2 (972).

    But the all-time QB sacker of the NFL76 era emphatically snuffs Detroit's comeback hopes ...


    Detroit's ball on their 11 yard line. Fourth and less than 19 to go. 2:00 left in the fourth quarter. The score is Detroit 7, New Orleans 13.
    Detroit's QB1 #11 Greg Landry is sacked by New Orleans's DE2 #93 Steve Baumgartner for a loss of just over 1 yard. First down, New Orleans! First and 10 to go. That was G0HflatF (1504) against DW0firb2 (1500).
