The 4th quarter is underway, with 15 minutes left to determine if the Lions are on a streak of 1, or 20.
3rd and 9, Campbell with throw...no one open...gets outside and takes the ball all the way to the Skins 3-fucking-9. Then it's Portis blowing thru the line for 14 more, and into Detroit territory.
I HATE LIFE.
Campbell to Thomas has the Skins at the Lions 34...FLAG! Holding, Washington! Bring it back! Bring it quite a ways back, to the 41.
The Skins then majorly fuck up the snap, as play starts and the center never snaps the ball. FUCK. Encroachment on Grady Jackson. I guess 400 pounds is hard to stop once it gets moving.
Campbell looks deep for Kelly, but the Lions have him well covered, incomplete in the end zone.2nd and 15.
More flags! Delay of game, Redskins! 2nd and 20 from their 40.
Campebell wants a back crossing, diving play by Julian Peterson to knock down the pass! 3rd and really, really long.
Campbell looks deep, nothing there, swings it out to Betts for a 8 yard gain. Lions D holds! But the offense will start inside their own 20. Need a long ass, time consuming, drive. Please?
12:01 left.
Botched handoff! Morris falls on the ball at the 10! Just kill me now...
2nd and 15. BJohnson is open on the right sideline, but the accuracy bugaboo has affected Stafford. Badly missed the wide open receiver.Not good, as Stafford is not playing like the QB we saw in the 1st half.
3rd and long...Stafford throws...HIGH! BJohnson was open, again. ARRRRGH. Stafford is doing his damnedest to raise my blood pressure to dangerous levels.
Skins will start their next drive at the 50. Fuck, this isn't cool. Detroit's defense is going to have to pick up the slack.
Skins get 4 on a short pass, clock running, 10:30 and running. Portis gets a yard on 2nd down, Lions need a stop, badly.
Campbell to Moss...makes a move...it's SHORT! But there's a flag...FUCK! Face mask? No, the refs wave it off! Replays show James yank Moss' face mask, so the Lions just got a HUGE break. HUGE.
Skins punt, Lions will begin at their own 15, a little over 9 minutes left.
Stafford just avoids a sack, unloads an incompletion. 2nd and 10, 9:04 left.
CJohnson gets the corner on the end around, gets 9, 3rd and 1.
Lions run the clock way down, Stafford to throw...CJohnson open for a 5 yard gain! 1st and 10, clock under 8:00.
Stafford will throw on 1st down...throws a deep out...DIVING CATCH BY MEGATRON! 1st down at the Skins 49! 7:00 left! Heart fluttering...
Stafford wants to go deep on 2nd and 9...NO FLAG! BJohnson was definitely interfered with deep downfield! Shit!
3rd and long...deep drop for Stafford...hangs it up high...BJohnson is open...HE'S RUN OVER BY THE DB! WHERE IS IT! YES! FLAG AT THE GOAL LINE! Pass interference on the Skins! 1st and goal, Detroit at the 1!
Ouch! I think I just threw my arthritic shoulder out from clapping so damn hard!
Shit, Morris loses a yard on 1st down.5:45 left. Need 6!
Lions run misdirection...toss to Morris...cuts it upfield...TOUCHDOWN LIONS! FUCK YESYESYES! OMFG, THE LIONS SCORE!
Lions going to for 2...Stafford rolls...rolls...rolls...throws into the end zone, incomplete. But...
The Lions are up 2 scores, 19-7, with 5:26 left in the game! OW! I'm injured, but playing in pain...
Skins will start at their 28, 5:20 to go.
Campbell rolls right on 1st down, finds Moss near the 50. Here comes the prevent D. //facepalm//
Clock running, 4:30, ball at the Detroit 43...Campbell to Betts, at the Detroit 34.
Campbell want to throw...lots of time...no one open...moves right...throws...INCOMPLETE to Randel-El at the 19. Skins will challenge, red flag is out. Question is, did Randel-El got both feet down? Replays don't look good for the Lions...
Skins win the challenge, given the ball at the Detroit 20. Nothing is ever easy for this team, is it?
Pass to Portis at the 12, clock running. 3:30 left. Another pass gets nothing, 3:05 left, it's Randel-El down to the 4. Shit.
And it's Campbell to Cartwright for the TD. 2:36 left. ARRRRRRGH.
PAT is good, Lions lead is down to 5, 19-14.
Skins have all their TO's, Lions need a couple 1st downs.
Hands team in for the Lions, Skins kick deep, Northcutt downs the ball in the end zone, Lions start at the 20.
Biggest drive of the past couple of seasons coming up for Detroit.
Lions run the ball, gets 2, TO Skins. 2:33 left.
Stafford takes the snap...Holy mother...he's going to throw! Rolls left...lofts a pass to Heller at the 45! It's caught! 1st down Detroit! YES!!! Gutsy play calling by Linehan...especially a play call for the somewhat stone-handed Heller.
Brown gets nada up the gut, and the Skins call their final TO. 2:17 left.
Felton takes the hand off, falls forward for no gain...2 minute warning. 120 seconds left. The Lions face a 3rd and 10. a 1st down all but ends the game.
Stafford fakes the handoff, it's naked bootleg...cuts it upfield, but he only gets a couple. Lions will punt, but the clock is running...Schwartz takes a TO with 1:12 left.
Harris boots it out of bounds at the 22. 1:05 left, no TO's left for Washington.
Campbell to Cooley gets 11. Tickticktick...
Campbell to Betts...he's sprinting for the sidelines at the 50...NO! He was short, but the refs give it to them, clock stopped at 0:36. Somebody up there doesn't like Detroit...
Another Campbell pass, the Skins at the Detroit 36., spikes the ball.
Campbell looks deep over the middle, incomplete! 0:16 left.
Campbell to throw...dances around the pocket...throws...incomplete! 0:08 left.
4th and 10.
Lions call a TO.
Calvin Johnson is in on defense. This is it.
Campbell will throw...it's short...lateral...another lateral...cuts it up...clock running...That's it.
Game over.
THANK FUCKING GOD.
LIONS WIN!
The noise you just heard was the cries of suicidal anguish coming from the nation's capital. The Redskins are the team that snaps Detroit's losing streak!
Holy Jebus on a hockey stick, the Lions beat the Redskins, 19-15! The 2nd longest losing streak in NFL history is OVER!
I'm...I'm...at a loss for words. I think I might cry...
19 games of Hell is finally over.
This team has a long way to go, but it's pretty obvious The Schwartz has them pointed in the right direction.
It bears repeating...
THANK FUCKING GOD.
