Kelly Stafford criticized for selling Detroit Lions tickets on StubHub

Two weeks after they lost a Thursday night game to the Green Bay Packers on an Hail Mary and a little more than two months after they fumbled away a win in the final minutes against the Seattle Seahawks, the Detroit Lions withstood a second-half rally to beat the New Orleans Saints, 35-27, on Monday Night Football.

Detroit, then iced the game with a 76-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard scoring run by Joique Bell with 5:24 left.

Woodson is one of the most accomplished defensive backs to play the game, ranking fifth all-time with 65 interceptions and tied for first with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper with 13 defensive touchdowns.

Commenters were quick to point out that her husband, 27, who had led the Lions to a 4-9 record before the game, makes millions of dollars and suggested that his wife donate the seats.

The loss assured the Saints (5-9) of their second consecutive losing season for the first time since the Mike Ditka era (1998-99). Brees was unable to manufacture enough offense to get over the inept play of a young and woeful defense.

Matthew Stafford completed 22 of 25 passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns for Detroit, while the Lion’s last-ranked running game accounted for 150 yards and two TDs against New Orleans’ last-ranked run defense. I kid, but no really. I know after yesterday’s MRI, and I know another doctor will take a look at this, we’ll be able to answer some of those questions.

Tate received six passes for 45 yards as he troubled the Saints defence all game, with additional punt returns of 14 and 7 yards.

And when Detroit’s Ameer Abdullah ran untouched 15 yards around the left end for a touchdown early in the third quarter, the Lions had built a 28-3 lead.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees will reportedly try to play through a torn plantar fasica tear in his right foot. But Colston’s positioning becomes a moot point, because New Orleans had an ineligible receiver downfield, which ended the half in an extremely weird way.

As for Brees’ injury, he said he’s unsure exactly what’s happening with it. He was seen in a walking boot after the game.

Detroit scored fewer than 20 points in eight of its first 10 games, a stretch that including three straight sub-20 point performances to start at Jim Bob Cooter’s tenure as offensive coordinator.

-COACHING: A-minus. The only blemish was head coach Jim Caldwell’s first challenge, which seemed like an obvious catch by Saints wide receiver Willie Snead.
