Complete NFL scoreboard: Lions beat Redskins 19-14, Jim Zorn could be GONE!

The Detroit Lions had lost 19-straight games going into today’s matchup with the Washington Redskins and many football fans felt this was a great chance for the (0-19) Lions to get a win.

They may end up grabbing this win at the expense of Redskins’ coach Jim Zorn’s job. The word today was the heat is on Zorn and after just getting by the St. Louis Rams 9-7 last week, and now losing to the Detroit Lions, the ice is getting very thin around Zorn’s office.

Zorn also got into an heated arguement with ‘Skins radio man and former QB Sonny Jurgenson last week on the air, about the Washington offense, which is showing about as much life as Wilbur Mills did when he came crawling out of the fountain.

Things have become Torn and Worn for Zorn in DC and this may be the final nail in his coffin.

DETROIT (AP)—Finally, the Detroit Lions are winners.

With rookie Matthew Stafford leading the way, Detroit ended a 19-game losing streak with a 19-14 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

The Lions (1-2) had not won since Dec. 23, 2007 and their skid matched the second longest in NFL history. They no longer will have to hear about closing in on Tampa Bay’s record 26-game losing streak set during the 1976-77 seasons.

Stafford threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Bryant Johnson(notes) in the first quarter and Detroit added a fourth-quarter score after a pass interference penalty. Then the Lions had to hold off the Redskins’ final drive.

When the game ended, the Lions earned a chance to celebrate nine months after becoming the first NFL team to finish 0-16 in the regular season.
