In Memory...

COREY SMITH
1979-2009
Defensive End Corey Smith, who joined the Lions in 2006, was lost at sea March 1, 2009. Whether he was forcing sacks, blocking punts or making tackles on special teams, Corey contributed to the team in any way he could. He was a dedicated teammate who represented himself, his family, his team and the game of football with pride and respect. To honor Corey, Lions President Tom Lewand announced in March that the team will retire #93 for the 2009 season. Additionally, Coreys family established the Corey D. Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund.

RICKY SANDOVAL
1960-2009
Ricky Sandoval, the teams beloved director of security, died July 2, 2009 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. During the past three years, Ricky epitomized courage and determination as he battled pancreatic cancer and showed a tremendous will to ght such a deadly disease every step of the way. Ricky turned 49 on June 30 and is survived by his loving wife, Gael.

FOREVER LIONS

In June 2009, the Lions indoor practice eld was named Sandoval Field in honor of Ricky Sandoval, who passed away July 2 a er a courageous and extended battle with pancreatic cancer that lasted more than three years. As a dedicated member of the organization, Sandoval touched virtually every person and every aspect of the teams operations. He was hired as director of security in June of 2001, and for eight seasons he managed the teams security operations. The impact Sandoval had on everyone who knew him was lasting and profound. To recognize and honor his dedication and devotion to the Lions organization, Sandoval Field is a tting tribute given his oversight of security at each and every team practice since 2001. Ricky set a new standard for courage as he not only fought this disease, but did so with incredible spirit, dignity and determination. -- Lions President Tom Lewand

ADMINISTRATION & COACHING

Thanks to Mr. Fords addition of the Lions Headquarters and Training Facility, the entire organization is now developing year-round in a world-class environment. Both the short-term and long-term impact are signicant as the team trains under conditions second-to-none. This joint venture between the Lions and Ford Land Development Corporation provides state-of-the-art facilities for players o-season workouts, training camp, and in-season meetings and practices. Throughout his tenure as owner, William Clay Ford has guided the Detroit Lions organization with a sense of balance, integrity and honest leadership. Never one to seek the limelight, Mr. Ford has not sought public accolades for his many contributions to football, the automotive industry and his community. Known as Bill Ford to his friends and business associates, his relationship with the Lions began during his childhood when his father, Edsel Ford, took him to the University of Detroit Stadium to see the rst Lions team play in their maiden season in the Motor City in 1934. He became a club director in 1956 and was asked by then-Lions President Edwin J. (Andy) Anderson to become the Lions president in 1961. In November 1963, Mr. Ford purchased the team outright for $4.5 million and ocially took over the club January 10, 1964. The 2008 season will mark the 45th year of Mr. Fords sole ownership of the club. 2009 marks the beginning of a new era for Detroit Lions football. From everything to the teams management all they way down to the logo on the helmet have changed with the mindset to improve this franchise and compete for championships. This past off-season has brought considerable changes to the organization starting with the promotion of Tom Lewand as team president and Martin Mayhew as general manager. Lewand oversees the direction of the organization, including business operations, and Mayhew is responsible for all football matters. Both set out in January to nd the best coach for this team, and they did so when the team hired Jim Schwartz, who most recently served as defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans over the past eight years, as the Lions new head coach. With Lewand and Mayhew in place, they set forth a plan that will elevate this team to new heights and they havent wavered from that plan, which forged ahead during free agency and the dra . I look forward to 2009, and hopefully this will be the season that will catapult us back on the road to a championship title. Each year we must make progress to achieve our goal of winning a Super Bowl, and I feel that we can get there with the organization and plan we now have in place. I have enjoyed seeing our coaching and player personnel stas work together eciently and eectively and make decisions that improve this team. It is not about one player, one coach or one GM, it is about everyone moving forward in concert with our plan and executing it on a daily basis. Of course, Mr. Fords other passion in life is the automotive industry, he being the only surviving grandson of inventor and auto pioneer Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company. For the entire Ford family, 2003 marked a year of great pride and celebration as Ford Motor Company commemorated its historic 100 years as an icon in American industry. In May 2005, Mr. Ford retired from the Board of Directors of Ford Motor Company a er nearly 57 years of service. He remains director emeritus on the Board of Directors. Mr. Ford most recently served as a member of the Board of Directors and was on the companys Finance Committee, and in years past served on its Governance Committee. He had been a board member since 1948 and was chairman of the companys Design Committee from its inception in 1957 until his retirement as vice chairman in March 1989. Utilizing his expertise in design, Mr. Ford was also on special assignment as a design consultant focusing on the Jaguar. During his career with the company, Mr. Ford gained special satisfaction and acclaim as the executive in charge of the design, development and subsequent introduction of the Continental Mark II, the successor to the classic Lincoln Continental that had been developed and introduced by his father Edsel in 1939. In 1973, Mr. Ford was appointed vice president-Product Design. Mr. Ford was elected to the Board of Directors in 1948 and began his employment at Ford following graduation from Yale University. He served several executive positions before appointment as vice president and general manager of the Continental Division in 1954. In 1956, he assumed responsibility for corporate product planning and design. When the Design Committee of Fords Policy and Strategy Committee was formed in 1957, Mr. Ford became the committees rst chairman, a post he held until retirement in 1989. In 1978, Mr. Ford was elected chairman of the Executive Committee and appointed a member of the Oce of the Chief Executive. He was elected vice chairman of the Board in 1980 and chairman of the Finance Committee in 1987. He retired as chairman of the Finance Committee in 1995. The youngest of Edsels four children, William Clay Ford was born March 14, 1925. Following a tour of duty with the U.S. Naval Air Corp in World War II, he enrolled at Yale, where he lettered in both tennis and soccer at the Ivy League school. As a collegian, he won league tennis titles in singles and doubles, and he earned All-American honorable mention honors in soccer. In fact, he was a nationally-ranked tennis player until two Achilles tendon surgeries relegated him to the sidelines. Mr. Fords athletic participation today includes golf, a game in which he became nearly a scratch performer, while registering a remarkable seven (7) holesin-one over the years. He graduated from Yale with a bachelors of science degree in economics and then joined Fords sales and advertising sta. He later served on the industrial relations staff where he was a member of the committee that negotiated the historic 1949 contract with the UAW-CIO. Mr. Ford also is chairman emeritus of the Board of Trustees of The Henry Ford. He is an honorary life trustee of the Eisenhower Medical Center, is a national trustee for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and honorary chair of the United Way Community Services. He is also on the Texas Heart Institute National Advisory Council. Mr. Ford received an honorary doctor of science degree from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif., in 1981. Mr. Fords generosity as a benefactor was again recognized in 1997, as the outdoor courts of the University of Michigans new tennis center were named in his honor. Also, a new addition to Detroits Henry Ford Hospital (which bears the name of Mr. Fords grandfather) opened in 1996 - The William Clay Ford Center for Athletic Medicine - which is one of the leading sports medicine treatment and research institutions in the country. He is married to the former Martha Firestone of Akron, Ohio. They are the parents of three daughters Martha, Sheila and Elizabeth and a son, William Clay Ford, Jr., who serves as the Lions Vice Chairman, in addition to his role as Executive Chairman of Ford Motor Company.

WILLIAM CLAY FORD, JR.

VICE CHAIRMAN
William Clay Ford, Jr. has made a positive and lasting impact on the Detroit Lions since assuming his current post of vice chairman in February 1995. He remains focused not only on creating a winner in the present, but also on ensuring success well into the 21st century, both on and o the eld. Ford shares his fathers commitment and devotion to the Lions and also has a burning passion to win. Like his father, he wants nothing less than to see the Lions regarded as one of the premier franchises in the National Football League and to produce a championship for Lions fans everywhere. We have re-evaluated every aspect of our organization and we will continue to do everything necessary to have success on and o the eld, said Ford. It is vital that we provide our fan base with a winner and reward their passion for the Lions. Our focus is to work every day to improve in every area, and this is consistent in both our football and business operations. We understand that the most important thing we can do for our fans is to win and to do so consistently. Over the past several months Tom (Lewand), Martin (Mayhew) and Coach (Jim) Schwartz have improved this team in many areas. I rmly believe that there is an exciting future for this team, and I look forward to seeing the development of this team this year and for several years to come. To see Fords inuence o the eld, one has to look no further than Ford Field in downtown Detroit and the teams headquarters and practice facility in Allen Park. Both are considered among the best respectively in all of sports, and were shaped by Fords resolve for the Lions to be a leader in the NFL. Fords dedication and commitment to the fans was never more evident than when he spearheaded the teams stadium negotiations that led to the 1996 decision and announcement to build Ford Field. Due largely to his determination and perseverance, the Lions struck a deal with the city of Detroit and Wayne County that established the foundation for the Lions to return to downtown Detroit in 2002. Fords vision of a downtown stadium had perhaps its nest moment to date when it played host to Super Bowl XL in February 2006. It received extraordinary reviews by the international community. In addition to developing new homes for the team to practice and play, Ford played a vital role in Detroits bid for Super Bowl XL. Through his leadership, the Ford Family, the Lions and Ford Motor Company were integral in Detroits impressive hosting of Super Bowl XL that exceeded expectations. Overall, there was a $260 million economic impact generated by Super Bowl XL, including $100 million in downtown improvements, $10 million in emerging businessesthe most in Super Bowl historyand $6 million in the NFL/Boys & Girls Club Youth Education Townthe largest in the country. Though satisfied with progress made so far by the development of Ford Field, Ford continues to push for the stadium to become an even greater benet to the community and its growth. Since we opened the doors in 2002, Ford Field has delivered on our vision to provide the City of Detroit with a venue that positively impacts the citys economy. Our initiatives have surpassed that, and the result of the numerous and, many times, record-breaking events we have at Ford Field stimulate the entire Metro Detroit region and even the state. Whether a fan goes to a Lions game, enjoys a concert or attends other events, we want their experience to be positive and leave with a lasting impression of who we are as an organization, a city and state. Since the decision was made to move to downtown Detroit, Ford also wanted to provide a world-class practice facility to complement the teams stadium project. The $36 million Allen Park facility, which opened in April 2002, has universally been identied as one of the best facilities in the NFL. Its state-of-the-art football facilities, including an indoor practice facility with a regulation-size eld, provide the ideal training center for NFL players and coaches. In Fords 14 years in his current role, he has helped the Lions take major steps forward on several fronts. Ford has strongly supported an active community outreach program which has been recognized as the best of any team in all of professional sports. Through Fords support, Detroit Lions Charities, which has awarded more than $5.2 million in total donations during its 19-year history, continue to serve Detroit and the State of Michigan. In the past ve years, Detroit Lions Charities distributed an annual average of nearly $500,000 to various organizations. Featured among the Lions philanthropic eorts is the collaborative eort with Detroit Public Schools and Communities in Schools of Detroit to open the Detroit Lions Academy. The school, which opens its doors for its eighth year this fall, oers an alternative school environment for approximately 140 sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. Ford has been a signicant supporter of the teams contribution in numerous other community programs, such as the sponsorship of the Think Detroit PAL youth football programone of the nations largest tackle football leagues. Involvement in the community does not stop at the teams community outreach and charitable contributions, as Ford also emphasizes the importance in growing the game of football and the development of youth. The Detroit Lions Youth Football program is one the most extensive youth sports programs operated by a professional sports team. From numerous youth camps held statewide to coaching clinics, the goal of the program is to impact childrens lives on and o the eld through the game. Ford believes it is valuable to grow youths interest in football and assist in the development of youth coaches. Under Fords direction, the team has launched one of the most aggressive business operations in all of sports. Many elements to this are derived primarily from events held at Ford Field and the benets generated from both Lions games and other ancillary events. Ford ensures that every aspect of the teams business operations ultimately focus on the impact they have on the Lions ability to win.

ADMINISTRATION & COACHING

Two major changes occurred this spring that illustrate this aggressive approach. In April, the team introduced comprehensive changes to the teams brand that includes a new, fierce-looking logo and other unique branding elements. A month earlier the organization re-vamped the Lions merchandise operations with a strong emphasis on improving customer service, including re-launching the teams retail store at Ford Field, now known as Lions Pro Shop, and the teams online retail store, Detroitlionsstore.com. Over the years, Fords leadership has generated several key business initiatives, including the Lions being one of the rst pro sports teams to launch its own website. The club also entered into a partnership with Innity Broadcasting (now CBS Radio), a relationship it extended in 2005, for the Lions radio broadcast r i g h t s a n d s t a r t e d We have re-evaluated every aspect of our organization and we will continue to do everything production on weekly necessary to have success on and o the eld.

TOM LEWAND
PRESIDENT

Tom Lewand, who was named team president December 29, 2008, oversees the teams day-to-day operations and reports to Mr. Ford on all business, organizational and NFL matters. Now in his 15th season with the Detroit Lions, he guides the overall direction of the franchise. Lewands fundamental principle is to consistently present the Lions as a rst-class organization with a clear sense of mission and direction. Among his responsibilities, Lewand is the chief contract negotiator and architect of the salary cap, and he oversees all day-to-day business operations of both the Detroit Lions and Ford Field entities. This includes the management of nance, football administration, player development, security, equipment operations, medical sta, ticketing, sales and marketing, public/media relations, broadcasting, human resources, Ford Field operations and administration, acquisition of events and the development of Ford Fields lease space in the stadiums progression as a multi-use facility. An extremely talented, creative and aggressive businessman, Lewand has held a myriad of positions and responsibilities within the front oce during his tenure with the Lions, most recently as executive vice president and chief operating ocer. On a league-wide level, Lewand is involved in several key business and labor issues. He serves on the NFL Management Councils Club Executives Committee and was on the Committee on Revenue Sharing Qualiers and the Special Committee on League Economics. Lewand represents the organization for all league-level business matters. Lewands leadership positions every aspect of the Lions organization, including Ford Field operations, to signicantly impact the Lions drive for a Super Bowl title. For Lewand, everything from football transactions to Ford Field events inuences the teams ability to compete and win. In January 2009, Lewand and General Manager Martin Mayhew completed an exhaustive and thorough search for a head coach that would lead the team on the eld. On January 16, they completed that process as the team announced the hiring of Jim Schwartz, one of the most experienced and successful defensive coordinators in the NFL. Schwartz has unique experience having served several years as an assistant under Titans Head Coach Je Fisher and worked in player personnel while Bill Belichick was the head coach for the Cleveland Browns. Schwartzs philosophy on the game and how to build a successful team, along with his experience contributing to winning organizations and working under successful coaches, made him the right choice for the Lions new head coach. During his tenure with the Lions, Lewand has negotiated player contracts totaling more than $1 billion. On April 25, within just a few hours of the NFL Dra , Lewand completed extensive and complex contract negotiations with QB Matthew Staord, this years rst overall selection, which involved several challenges given the current realities of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement. Despite those complexities, Lewand led the

teams eorts to sign the top pick prior to the dra , one of the most important goals that both he and Mayhew set forth for the entire oseason. Lewands additional contract highlights include: the Lions last 17 rst-round dra choices, RB Barry Sanders last NFL contract, the contracts of Pro Bowl players (WR Roy Williams, DT Shaun Rogers, CB Dr Bly, DE Robert Porcher, DT Luther Elliss, LB Stephen Boyd, WR/KR Desmond Howard, K Jason Hanson and TE David Sloan) and recent free agent acquisitions. On the business side, Lewand constantly evaluates and reviews opportunities to grow the teams business operations, a process that incorporated two major improvements this past oseason. In April, the Lions announced a new comprehensive brand that launched changes to the teams logo and uniforms, a new team logotype and font and streamlined branding elements. The evolution of the Lions brand is the most complete and all-encompassing modication in franchise history. Though the new brand features the most signicant change to the Lions logo since it was rst placed on the teams helmet in 1961, the Lions brand now extends beyond the logo on the helmet and presents a consistent visual identity in new, versatile and distinctive ways. In March, the team partnered with MainGate on a 10-year exclusive retail and merchandising agreement. The new partnership, which focuses on providing greater service to Lions fans and consumers, includes signicant improvements to the organizations retail operations. Headlining the overhaul is the re-vamped team store at Ford Field, now know as Lions Pro Shop, and the re-launch of the Lions online store, Detroitlionsstore.com. Under Lewands guidance and direction, Ford Field has become the crown jewel of downtown Detroit and serves as a cornerstone in the citys urban renewal and revitalization eorts. The facility opened to rave reviews in 2002, with the publisher of the Detroit Free Press stating that Ford Field tells [Detroiters] who we are and suggests what we can be. Now its up to the rest of us to create a downtown and a city that matches the vision Ford Field realizes. Ford Field shined in 2006 when the city of Detroit hosted Super Bowl XL. Lewand served as the point person for the Lions and Ford Field on the Host Committee for Super Bowl XL, and was among the key gures leading the citys hosting of the game and events surrounding Super Bowl XL, which was widely-acclaimed as successful and critical to Detroits future growth. By hosting the Super Bowl at Ford Field, this oered the injection of a $260 million economic boost to the Metro Detroit region. Previously, Lewand played an instrumental role in developing the strategic bid plan in pursuit of Super Bowl XL. Behind Lewands leadership, Ford Field once again stepped to the forefront this past April as Detroit, for the rst time, hosted the NCAA Mens Basketball Final Four. The championship culminated six years of planning, that included Lewand representing the organization for a successful bid in 2003, alongside the NCAA to present the Final Four in a

way that it has never been done before and one that will impact future sites. This years event included a center-stadium conguration that utilized the entire stadium seating structure along with customized risers. Ford Field broke long-standing records, including: attendance for Final Four Friday (nearly 30,000), the National Seminals (72,456) and National Championship game (72,992). Overall, a record 145,378 fans attended the Final Four. By hosting the Final Four, Ford Field was the centerpiece for a weekend that had an estimated $30-50 million impact on the city of Detroit. Besides the economic impact, a number of community outreaches took place that will improve the area for years to come, including the newly-created legacy program that established early learning and literacy centers in the Detroit community. Attendance records were not only restricted to inside Ford Field, the ancillary events, such as Hoops City, set their own records as well. All of these events generated a tremendous opportunity for both residents and visitors to enjoy downtown Detroit over a ve-day period. With the Final Four now a tremendous success, Lewands leadership is guiding the organization to once again work with the NCAA to elevate another one of college sports most popular championships, the 2010 Mens Frozen Four. Following the success of the center-stadium conguration for the mens basketball championships, the Frozen Four will be played under a similar set-up that will enable more hockey fans than ever before to experience this event growing in popularity. Ford Field will become the rst venue to host the Mens Final Four and the Mens Frozen Four in back-to-back years. In April 2007 Ford Field hosted WWEs Wrestlemania 23 that set a new Ford Field all-events attendance record (80,103) and had a $25 million impact on the Metro Detroit area. Additionally, Lewand continues to lead in the development of Ford Field events, including college football (Division I regular season games, MAC Championship and Motor City Bowl), MHSAA high school football, concerts, motorsports and various trade shows. Lewand possesses a strong educational background, having received a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Michigan in 1991, and completing both a law degree at the University of Michigan Law School and his masters degree in business administration from the University of Michigan Business School in 1996. Lewand aided the Michigan football program in various capacities on a volunteer basis while attending the school. He also worked for the Lions on a parttime basis while completing work on his graduate degrees. In 1991, Lewand served as an environmental advisor for the Governor of Indiana, Evan Bayh. Following a year in that position, he entered graduate school at Michigan. He spent time working for the law rm of Dickinson Wright in Detroit, and the Chicago law rm of Kirkland and Ellis. In the summer of 1993, he worked in the White House in the Counsels Oce for Presidential Personnel. Lewands family history is also entrenched in the Detroit area community. His father, F. Thomas Lewand, works as an attorney and was both the Chief of Sta for former Governor James Blanchard and the Chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party. His late grandfather, Joseph B. Sullivan, was a judge in the Michigan Court of Appeals and was the deputy mayor of Detroit in the 1960s. Lewand is active in the community, acting as Immediate Past Chairman of the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau and serving on the Boards of Directors of the Detroit Zoological Society, the Downtown Detroit Partnership, the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation and the Parade Company. He also is on the Corporate Advisory Board for the University of Michigans Ross School of Business. Lewand was named as one of Crains Detroit Business 40 Under 40 in 1998, which honored and recognized 40 top business people in the Detroit area under the age of 40. Lewand has also been recognized nationally twice, in 2003 and 2005, by the Sports Business Journal as one of the top 40 under 40 sports executives in the United States. He and his wife, Suzanne, have four daughters: Cayleigh, Paige, Shannon and Erin.

LIONS UNVEIL NEW COMPREHENSIVE BRAND

On April 20, Lions President Tom Lewand unveiled the Detroit Lions new comprehensive brand that launched changes to the teams logo and uniforms (changes detailed in Uniform History on Page 270), along with streamlined branding elements. The evolution of the Lions brand is the most complete and all-encompassing modication in franchise history. As part of the new comprehensive brand, the Lions also introduced a new logotype and a new proprietary font, NFL Lions. The new logotype is additional imagery that presents the Lions brand and will be featured in such prominent places as the endzone marking at Ford Field.

Team modies team logo and uniforms and introduces new branding elements

We will consistently present the Lions as a rst-class organization with a clear sense of mission and direction, Lewand said at the teams unveiling this past spring. We have made several signicant changes this oseason in accordance with that commitment. The introduction of this new brand identity is another element of that process. Today is an exciting and historic day for this franchise. The new identity retains many important aspects of our history in terms of our primary mark and our colors. However, the evolution allows us to present our Lions brand and visual identity in new, versatile and distinctive ways. We stand rmly committed to improving the team on the eld. That success is always the most determinative factor of any NFL brand.

MARTIN MAYHEW
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER
Martin Mayhew, now in his ninth season with the Lions, was promoted to general manager December 29, 2008 and reports directly to Mr. Ford on all football matters. Mayhew, the teams executive football decision-maker, is building the Lions through a plan that focuses on developing a physically-tough football team. Mayhew adamantly believes that the players that will lead the Lions will be smart football players, and show great character and work ethic. The process of improving the Lions success on the eld continued this past January with the teams search for a new head coach. Along with President Tom Lewand, Mayhew searched for the right coach who shared his philosophies with the following characteristics: strong communication and leadership skills, a track record of success in the NFL, demonstrated ability to overcome adversity, the right mixture of youth and experience, and a coach with enthusiasm and energy for the challenge ahead. The search concluded with the hiring of Jim Schwartz, who was the Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator for the past eight years. Schwartz is unique because he brings tremendous experience as a coordinator and position coach in the NFL, but he also previously worked in player personnel when he began his NFL career. These attributes appealed to Mayhew, and both have worked in concert on free agency and the 2009 dra critical areas that will signicantly impact the Lions future success. Along with the coaching sta, Mayhew is re-organizing the teams player personnel department. From the beginning, the team set out to add a personnel executive who was successful in overseeing both pro and college scouting in the NFL. That was completed with the hiring of James Shack Harris, who has worked 22 years in scouting including the past six seasons as Jacksonvilles vice president of player personnel. Along with the hiring of Harris, the Lions player personnel department, under Mayhews direction, is undergoing a geographical realignment that will improve the teams scouting operations. In his role as general manager, Mayhew oversees the player personnel department, including college and pro scouting, and plays an integral role in the coordination of the teams salary cap objectives and negotiation of player contracts. Mayhew and Lewand collectively work on all team matters pertaining to the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement and League policies and procedures. In addition, the coordination of all football operations, managed day-to-day by Vice President of Football Operations Cedric Saunders, is under the direction of Mayhew. This includes team travel, training camp operations, security, medical sta, equipment operations, video department and cafeteria sta. Mayhew also works on many of the Lions football-related legal matters and human resources. In February 2001, Mayhew joined the Lions front oce as senior director of football administration/sta counsel. A er illustrating his talents and work ethic for two years, Mayhew was promoted February 3, 2003 to senior vice president of football administration/legal aairs. On October 14, 2004, he was appointed senior vice president and assistant general manager. Throughout his journey leading up to his current post, Mayhew has kept an eye on the future and has always thought one step ahead, as evidenced by his strategic exposure to several jobs and internships while earning his law degree from Georgetowns Law Center (2000). He is one of two Lions front oce executives with law degrees, and he is also a member of the Florida Bar. During the 1999 NFL season, while attending law school, Mayhew served a nine-month internship in the Washington Redskins pro personnel department, which exposed him to the responsibilities of an NFL scouting department. While with the Redskins, he scouted NFL players and late NFL cuts and also assisted in the evaluation of college players for the 2000 NFL Dra . Mayhew also had two separate internship stints with the NFL in both the labor operations and legal departments. In labor operations, Mayhew worked closely with NFL executives on issues involving player contracts and the salary cap. With the legal department, Mayhew assisted the NFLs in-house labor counsel by researching legal issues, digesting cases in preparation for arbitration hearings and dra ing legal memoranda related to player injury and non-injury grievances. He also was exposed to corporate law while working for Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer and Feld, L.L.P. in Washington D.C., one of the NFLs primary rms used as outside counsel. At Akin Gump, Strauss, Hauer and Feld, he researched legal issues, wrote legal documents and assisted rm associates and partners in preparation for litigation. Mayhew played nine years in the NFL as a cornerback for Bualo (1988), Washington (1989-92) and Tampa Bay (1993-96). He was the Bills 10th-round selection in the 1988 NFL dra and was a starter on the Redskins Super Bowl XXVI championship team. Mayhew entered the league after graduating from Florida State with a bachelors of science degree in business management. While at FSU, he was a National Merit and Achievement Scholar and earned GTE CoSida Academic AllAmerica honors. He was also a two-sport athlete, lettering on both the Seminoles football and track teams. Between graduation and the dra , Mayhew was a corporate trainee at First Union National Bank in Charlotte, N.C. Mayhew has also been extremely involved within the community throughout his professional career. In 1993, while playing for Tampa Bay, Mayhew was given the Chelo Huerta Community Service Award, and the following year he was a nominee for the True Value Hardware Man of the Year. From 1995-96, Mayhew was the Bucs United Way Spokesperson. Mayhew is a member of the American Bar Association and the Sports Lawyers Association. Mayhew and his wife, Sabrina, have a daughter, Sierra, and two sons, Ryan and Justin.

When asked about what attracted Jim Schwartz to the Lions head coaching position, he stated, Youre not going to nd a more passionate fan base in the NFL than Detroit. You talk about ownership and a commitment to winning. Thats critical. Without those two, I dont think its an attractive opportunity. I think Detroit oers both of those. At age 43, Schwartz, hired by the Lions January 16, 2009, brings a unique blend of coaching and player personnel experience to the Lions head coaching position. Schwartz has spent the past 16 seasons in the NFL13 years as a coach and three in player personnel working his way up from an entry-level football operations position to a NFL head coach. As a defensive coach, he began as a defensive assistant and quality control coach, progressed to position coach and then succeeded as a defensive coordinator for nearly a decade despite the constant nature of change in todays NFL. Schwartz begins his tenure in Detroit following 10 seasons with the Tennessee Titans, including the past eight as defensive coordinator. While with the Titans, he worked under Head Coach Je Fisher, one of the most successful coaches in the NFL over the past 15 seasons. In 2008, Schwartzs defense guided the Titans to an NFL-best 13-3 record and an AFC South title. The Titans defense nished the season ranked in the top 10 in several key defensive categories, including: defensive points allowed (third, 14.2), total yards allowed (seventh, 293.6), rushing yards allowed (sixth, 93.9), passing yards allowed (second, 161.0), third down percentage allowed (6th, 35.0) and sacks ( h, 44). Tennessees defense was one of only six teams to nish among the top 10 in the league in both rushing yards and passing yards allowed. As the Titans defensive coordinator since 2001, Schwartzs defensive unit held rm in two major categories that factored signicantly in the teams overall success: rushing defense and third down conversion. From 2001-08, Tennessee ranks h in rushing yards allowed per game (103.5) and sixth in third down conversion (36.1). Through 2008, the Titans allowed just nine rushers over 100 yards

during the past 64 home games. During his tenure as defensive coordinator, the Titans claimed two AFC South titles (2002 and 2008), earned two other AFC Wild Card spots (2003 and 2007), and in four seasons nished with 10 or more wins, including 2002 (11-5), 2003 (12-4), 2007 (10-6) and 2008 (13-3). Over the past two seasons, the Titans claimed 23 victories and their winning percentage of .719 (23-9) was the third-best in the NFL. They are one of only three teams (New England and Indianapolis) with 23-or-more wins. Since 2006, the Titans overall record is 31-17 (.646), which is tied for the fourth-best record in the league. The Titans success can be attributed to the teams ability to adapt, and Schwartz did that on defense during his tenure as coordinator. Not known for one specic defensive philosophy, Schwartz tailored his defenses based both on personnel and on particular game strategies. In 2007, the Titans defense helped rejuvenate the team and led the teams return to the playos. Among the NFLs

Jim Schwartz brings a unique blend of coaching and player personnel experience to the Lions head coaching position. Schwartz has spent the past 16 seasons in the NFL13 years as a coach and three in player personnel working his way up from an entry-level football operations position to a NFL head coach. As a defensive coach, he began as a defensive assistant and quality control coach, progressed to position coach and then succeeded as a defensive coordinator for nearly a decade despite the constant nature of change in todays NFL.

rankings, Schwartzs defensive unit completed the season among the league best in the following categories: total yards allowed ( h, 291.6), rushing yards allowed ( h, 92.4), passing yards allowed (10th 192.2), defensive points allowed (17.3, 7th), rst down yards per play allowed (4.34, rst), sacks (40, seventh) and takeaways (34, sixth). The Titans limited three teams in 2007 under 200 total oensive yards, and All-Pro RB LaDainian Tomlinson was held to the lowest rushing total of his career (42) with 20 or more carries in the Titans playo game at San Diego. Schwartz managed a defense that, much like the rest of Tennessees team, was in transition during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. That unit replaced seven regular starters from the 2004 squad with new and, o en younger, talent. Schwartzs defense held their own throughout the process, and one example of that was when Tennessee held the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts and their high-powered oense in 2006 to a combined 31 points in both games, the lowest tally allowed by a Colts division opponent in the history of the AFC South. The 2005 Titans defense was one of the youngest defenses in the NFL with their average years of experience being only 3.5 years. That defense included two starting rookie cornerbacks for only the second time in the teams 46-year history, and the unit ranked eighth in third down percentage allowed (35.5), ninth in sacks (41) and second in three-and-out drives (31.3 pct.). For just the second time in franchise history, and rst since 1993, Schwartz put together a defense that nished rst in the NFL in rushing defense. Finishing in the top 10 in rush defense extended the teams streak of nine consecutive seasons ranked in the top 10. That nine-year streak was also the longest streak in the league at the time. As remarkable as it was for the Titans defense to nish rst in rushing yards allowed, it was even more remarkable of a feat considering the talented rushers they faced nearly week-in and week-out. That year, the Titans faced eight (total of 10 games) of the NFLs top 13 rushers who combined for 12,018 yards on the season. The Titans defense dominated the leagues leading rusher, Ravens RB Jamal Lewis who rushed for over 2,000 yards that season, in the AFC Wild Card game as the team held Lewis to just 35 yards. It was Lewis second-lowest career single-game rushing tally as a starter in the NFL through that year. Combined with the stellar rushing defense was the strong eort by the defense on third down, once again proving a common theme of Schwartzs defense. The Titans led the league in third down defense by allowing an opponent conversion percentage of 27.7. It was the lowest in franchise history and the lowest in the NFL since 1998 (Oakland Raiders, 26.3). Beyond those two categories the Titans defense ranked fourth in the AFC in red-zone defense (43.9 pct.), h in the AFC in takeaways (34) and it recorded the most interceptions (21) by a Titans defense since 1995. In just his second-year as the Titans defensive coordinator, Schwartzs defense nished in the top 10 as they persevered through a season which they lost All-Pro DE Jevon Kearse to injury and added six new defensive starters. In 2002, the Tennessee defense nished h overall in defensive points allowed (282). Prior to his eight seasons as the Titans defensive coordinator, Schwartz contributed to the Titans defense as the linebackers coach where he also coordinated the teams third down package in 2000. That year, the Titans led the NFL in opponent third down eciency by allowing a league-low 30.8 percent. He also was instrumental in the integration of newly-acquired linebacker Randall Godfrey into the Titans

As the Titans defensive coordinator from 2001-08, Schwartzs defensive unit held rm in two major categories that factored signicantly in the teams overall success: rushing defense and third down conversion. From 2001-08, Tennessee ranks h in rushing yards allowed per game (103.5) and sixth in third down conversion (36.1). During his tenure as defensive coordinator, the Titans claimed two AFC South titles (2002 and 2008), earned two other AFC Wild Card spots (2003 and 2007), and in four seasons nished with 10 or more wins, including 2002 (11-5), 2003 (12-4), 2007 (10-6) and 2008 (13-3).

defensive scheme, as he set career highs in tackles (169) and interceptions (2). Schwartz originally joined the Titans in 1999 as defensive assistant/quality control. In his rst year with the club, the team claimed the AFC Championship and earned a berth in Super Bowl XXXIV. Before joining the Titans in 1999, he spent three years (1996-98) as a defensive assistant/quality control coach with the Baltimore Ravens. During his tenure in Baltimore, he also coached the teams outside linebackers. A er the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore following the 1995 season, Schwartz made the transition from player personnel to coaching. From 1993-95, he worked in the Browns player personnel department, serving as both a college and pro scout. During his time with the Browns, he also assisted the coaching sta, headed by Bill Belichick, on defense with lm breakdowns and scouting reports. In addition to his pro coaching and scouting experience, Schwartz worked on the college level for four years before moving onto the NFL. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Maryland, tutoring the Terrapins linebackers from 1989-90 and then served as graduate assistant at the University of Minnesota (1990-91). He became a position coach in the secondary at North Carolina Central (1991-92) before moving to Colgate (1992) as linebackers coach. The Baltimore, Md., native was a four-year letterwinner as a linebacker at Georgetown University, where he earned a degree in economics. He received Distinguished Economics Graduate honors at Georgetown, and in 1989 he earned numerous honors that include Division III CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-America, All-America and team captain. Schwartz and his wife, Kathy, have twins Christian and Allison along with a younger daughter Maria.

ADMINISTRATION & COACHING

GUNTHER CUNNINGHAM
Assistant Head Coach/ Defensive Coordinator
Years with Lions: 1 Years in NFL: 28
Overall, Kansas Citys pass defense ranked h in the NFL in 2007 allowing only 188.9 yards per game. They also tied for h in three-and-outs forced (47) and rst downs allowed (278). A er just two seasons following his return to Kansas City, Cunningham improved the Chiefs rushing defense that ranked 30th in the league in 2003 (146.5 yards allowed per game) to seventh in the NFL in 2005 (98.1 yards allowed per game). The 98.1 rushing yards allowed per game was the lowest the Chiefs yielded since 1997. In 2005, the Chiefs were ninth in Red Zone defense (46.7 TD pct.) a er ranking 27th the previous season. They also tied for the second highest tally of forced fumbles that year with 33. In 2004, Cunningham began the process of improving the teams defense as Kansas City tied for seventh in the NFL with 41.0 sacks, the clubs best total since 2000, Cunninghams last year as Kansas Citys head coach. Cunningham coached alongside Schwartz at Tennessee (2001-03) under Head Coach Je Fisher where he served as the Titans assistant head coach/linebackers. In those three seasons, the Titans defense helped the franchise earn two playo berths.

In 1999, the Chiefs were 9-7 and tied with the Seattle Seahawks with the best record in the AFC West but lost out on a playo tie-breaker. Cunningham became the rst coach in Chiefs history to claim nine wins in his rst season as Chiefs head coach. In 1999, the Chiefs led the NFL with a +21 turnover margin and set a team record by scoring nine defensive touchdowns. In his two seasons, his club was 4-0 against Denver and defeated the defending Super Bowl Champion St. Louis Rams October 20, 2000 54-34 in a high-scoring aair. As defensive coordinator for the Chiefs from 1995-98, the defense was a key cog in Kansas City compiling a 42-22 (.656) record, including a 23-9 record (.719) against the AFC West.

Cunninghams defenses were critical in Kansas City producing an AFC-best +30 turnover margin from 1995-98, as they were responsible for 127 takeaways. They also scored 77 points on 10 touchdowns and four safeties. The Chiefs produced 172.0 sacks over those four years, a total which ranked third in the AFC and sixth in the NFL over that span. The 232 points allowed by the Chiefs in 1997 was a franchise record for a 16-game season. That season, they set a NFL record, previously held by the 1934 Detroit Lions, by not permitting a second half touchdown in 10 consecutive games. They led the AFC in interceptions (21) and total takeaways (34), and ranked second among NFL team in opponents third-down percentage (31.6). Kansas Citys 54.0 sacks in 97 were the second-highest total in team history, leading the AFC and ranking third in the NFL. In 1995, Kansas Citys defense was even better in terms of actual oensive points allowed as opposing oenses scored an average of just 12.9 point per game, and they were ranked second in the entire league by allowing just 284.3 yards per game. They also ranked third in rushing defense (82.9 yards per game). Additionally, the Chiefs led the league in scoring defense, turnover margin (+12), touchdowns allowed (23) and yards allowed per play (4.3). Cunningham not only has compiled great defensive units, but he has coached and mentored several Pro Bowl and AllPro players. He shared a special bond as a mentor to the late, great nine-time Pro Bowl LB Derrick Thomas, who concluded his illustrious career as the all-time leading sack artist in Chiefs history with 126.5 QB takedowns. Cunningham served as Thomas position coach in 97, helping him earn his nal Pro Bowl

Born December 4, 1984. Attended Kalaheo High School in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii where he lettered in basketball, volleyball and baseball. Did not play football in high school. Member of the state championship basketball team as a junior. First-team all-state selection in volleyball and basketball. Two-time league player of the year in volleyball and basketball. Four-time all-league performer in basketball.

MANE FACTS
Alama-Francis father, Joseph, was a backup to Packers legendary quarterback Bart Starr in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and he played for Vince Lombardi. First began his athletic career at Hawaii as a walk-on for the schools basketball program, playing hoops for the 2002-03 season.

The lm introduced Lauren Hutton to the silver screen, and featured actual members of the Detroit Lions, including coach Joe Schmidt, Alex Karras, John Gordy, Mike Lucci, Pat Studstill and Roger Brown.

NAMING THE LIONS

When the team moved to Detroit from Portsmouth, Ohio in 1934, the organization settled on the name that would be uttered in Detroit and all around the league to this very day. A er deciding to be known as the Lions, (staying consistent with the jungle cat image of the citys baseball team, the Tigers) two Lion cubs were given to the team by John Millen of the Detroit Zoo. Their names were Grid and Iron. They accompanied the team to all of their games. The previous Detroit professional football teams were known as the Heralds, Panthers and the Wolverines.

GRIDIRON HEROES...
As the new pro football franchise took root in Detroit, owner G.A. Richards called for an original ght song to be written for the Lions. In the late 1930s, Wayne State University director of bands Graham T.

(Verse) Hail the colors Blue and Silver let them wave. Sing the song and cheer the Gridiron Heroes brave, Fighting for fame, winning the game. Dashing to victory as they go. (Chorus) Forward down the eld, A charging team that will not yield. And when the Blue and Silver wave, Stand and cheer the brave. Rah, Rah, Rah! Go hard win the game. With honor you will keep your fame Down the eld and gain, A Lion victory!

SERIES NOTES

Detroits series with the Cardinals is the oldest in the history of the Lions franchise. The rst game was played October 5, 1930 between the Portsmouth Spartans and the Chicago Cardinals, and it ended in a scoreless tie. That game is one of two scoreless ties (other was a 0-0 tie played September 15, 1940) played between the Lions and the Cardinals in their series. The Lions own a 31-23-5 advantage over the Cardinals. September 30, 1934 marked the rst occasion that the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Cardinals matched up, and the Lions were victorious 6-0. In all, the Portsmouth Spartans were 2-2-2 vs. the Chicago Cardinals. Detroit has registered a 19-9-3 mark against the Chicago Cardinals, a 5-4 record over the St. Louis Cardinals and have a 5-6 mark since the Cardinals moved to Phoenix. Detroit currently has a three-game winning streak against the Cardinals. The Lions-Cardinals series is one of four series (Chicago, Green Bay and New York Giants) in franchise history that dates back to 1930, Portsmouths inaugural season in the NFL. The teams met twice in 1993 with Detroit winning both contests, 26-20 at the Silverdome September 26 and 21-14 in Phoenix December 12. Behind the record-setting performance by QB Charlie Batch at Arizona November 18, 2001 (a franchise record 436 yards passing), the Lions oense set several team records and collected some of the franchises highest totals in other team oensive categories. The Lions 62 pass attempts set the teams single-game record by

surpassing the previous high of 57 attempts accomplished vs. Chicago 10/9/88. The teams 36 completions are better than the 33 completions tossed at Cleveland 9/28/86 and vs. Green Bay 10/25/87. The Lions established a new record for net passing yards by airing out 429 yards, which is better than the previous high of 395 vs. Minnesota 11/23/95. And the 22 rst downs gained on pass plays is a new team record, passing the old mark of 20 set vs. Minnesota 11/23/95. Detroit snapped a ve-game losing streak in the series in the 2003 season opener with a 42-24 win over the Cardinals at Ford Field. The win was the rst for forner Lions Head Coach Steve Mariucci. QB Joey Harrington threw for a career high four touchdown passes in the game. In Detroits 26-12 win over Arizona December 5, 2004, RB Kevin Jones ran for a career-high 196 yards on 26 carries, 105 of which came in the rst half. It is the second highest rushing total by a Lions rookie in team history, just one yard shy of Mel Farrs record of 197 yards on 24 carries at Minnesota (11/12/67). In the same 2004 contest, K Jason Hanson became the 20th player in NFL history to reach the 1,300-point plateau. WR Roy Williams caught a career-high three touchdown passes in the Lions 29-21 win over Arizona November 13, 2005 at Ford Field. The Lions trip to Arizona November 19, 2006 marked Detroits rst visit to the Cardinals newly-opened University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

SERIES NOTES

Aside from the NFLs most recent expansion additions (Baltimore, Carolina, Houston and Jacksonville), the seven meetings between the Lions and Bills is the fewest number of games the Lions have played against any opponent. Two of the seven games have been played on Thanksgiving Day, with the Lions winning both outings. Detroit won the rst Turkey Day game between the two clubs 27-14 November 25, 1976 and the second Thanksgiving Day aair 35-21 November 24, 1994. In the 1976 meeting, O.J. Simpson put on one of the greatest individual performances in pro football history as he rushed for a then-NFL record 273 yards. Simpsons historic

Thanksgiving Day performance wasnt enough as the Lions prevailed 27-14. The Lions defeated the Bills 20-17 in their rst regular season visit to Ford Field. The victory also was Rod Marinellis rst as a head coach. Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson grew up in Detroit and at one time was a Lions shareholder.

SERIES NOTES

The Lions and Panthers faced o in their inaugural contest October 24, 1999. Detroit visited Carolinas Ericsson Stadium and handed the Panthers a 24-9 loss. The Panthers made ve trips inside the Lions ve-yard line, and the Detroit defense forced two turnovers and yeilded only three eld goals. The contest was also the rst of two straight games in 1999 where Detroits defense did not yield a touchdown. That accomplishment marked the rst time since 1983 that the Lions have kept opponents out of the end zone in back-to-back games (45-3 win vs. Pittsburgh November 24, 1983 and 13-2 win vs. Minnesota December 5, 1983). The Panthers evened the series record at 1-1 with a 31-7 victory at Ericsson Stadium

September 15, 2002. Despite having both a fumble return and a punt return go for touchdowns, the Lions fell short at the eventual NFC Champion Panthers, 21-14, on December 14, 2003. LB Boss Bailey (34 yards) and S Kenoy Kennedy (64 yards) each returned interceptions back for touchdowns in the Lions last-minute 21-20 loss against Carolina at Ford Field October 16, 2005. The last time the Lions had two interceptions for touchdowns in a game was at Seattle October 24, 1976 when Levi Johnson and Lem Barney both returned interceptions for touchdowns.

SERIES NOTES

The Lions hosted the Bears for the inaugural Thanksgiving Day game on November 29, 1934. The game, played in front of a then-record 26,000 fans at the University of Detroit Stadium, was won by the Bears, 19-16, giving the Bears the Western Division championship. NBC Radio Network broadcast the game coast-to-coast and a Thanksgiving tradition was born. On Thanksgiving Day (November 27) in 1997 the Lions downed the Bears 55-20 for their largest oensive output ever against Chicago. RB Barry Sanders rushed for 167 yards and three touchdowns in the win at the Silverdome. Earlier in the 1997 season, Sanders put up 161 yards on Chicago in a 32-7 victory over the Bears. WR Herman Moore set a franchise record with 14 catches for 183 yards in a 27-7 win December 4 at the Pontiac Silverdome. Detroit had its best stretch against the Bears when it won 11 of 12 games from September 22, 1968 to December 9, 1973. Five contests between the two teams have gone to overtimeincluding both in 2002 with the Bears winning three of them. The most recent in the series occurred when Bears S Charles Tillman picked o a Lions QB Je Garcia pass and returned it for a score to claim a 19-13 win in overtime October 30, 2005.

In the 2004 season opener, Detroit topped Chicago 20-17 to end its 24-game road losing streak. S Bracy Walker returned a blocked FG an NFL-record 92 yards to give the Lions a 10-7 advantage, and QB Joey Harrington found WR Az-Zahir Hakim for a fourth-quarter touchdown to give the Lions a 20-14 lead they would not relinquish. With the Lions trailing 13-3 going into the fourth quarter vs. Chicago at Ford Field September 30, 2007, the Lions reeled o an NFL record 34 points in the fourth quarter to claim a 37-27 win. It marked just the h time in NFL history a team scored 30 or more points in a quarter. Detroit scored ve touchdowns, including two passing, one rushing, one interception and one kicko return. The teams also combined for 48 points, which is a record for combined fourth quarter points. On October 28, 2007, the Lions defeated the Bears 16-7 at Soldier Field. K Jason Hanson, connected on a 52-yarder which was his career longest against the Bears on the road, and marked the longest in franchise history by a Lions kicker on the road vs. Chicago. It also marked the rst 50-yard eld goal on the road vs. the Bears by a Lions kicker in the series that dates back to 1930. Almost one year to the exact date (November 2, 2008), Hanson repeated this feat when he hit another 52-yarder vs. the Bears

1950s POSTSEASON BATTLES: The following are brief recaps of each of the four postseason games between the Lions and Browns. December 28, 1952 (NFL Championship Game) - The Detroit Lions claimed their rst NFL title in 17 years with a 17-7 win over the Browns. The Lions scored the rst touchdown of the game on a two-yard run by Bobby Layne and extended the lead to 14-0 in the third quarter on a 67-yard scamper by Doak Walker. Detroit was outgained in total yardage by 151 yards and had 12 fewer rst downs, but the Detroit

defense stiened at crucial times: The Lions came up with four important goal line stands. Layne attempted only nine passes, all coming in the fourth quarter. To pick up the slack, the Lions rushed for 199 yards with 97 yards coming from Walker. Detroit capped the title game win with a 36-yard eld goal by Pat Harder. December 27, 1953 (NFL Championship Game) - The game evolved into a defensive struggle as 20 of the 33 points scored in the game were direct results of turnovers. The mistakes began when Otto Graham fumbled on his own 13-yard line, the Lions capitalized on a one-yard touchdown run by Doak Walker. Although Graham completed only two of his 15 attempts, the Browns managed to hold a 16-10 lead with less than ve minutes to play. Then, Detroit quarterback Bobby Layne put together an impressive drive that culminated with a 33-yard touchdown toss to Jim Doran. The 17-16 victory provided the Lions with their second consecutive title. December 26, 1954 (NFL Championship Game) - The game began on a good note for Detroit as Cleveland quarterback Otto Graham turned the ball over on an interception. But the Lions could only manage a eld goal a er the turnover and the rest of the a ernoon was all Cleveland. Graham bounced back from the early interception to pass for three touchdowns and run for another three touchdowns as the Browns captured the Worlds Championship with a 56-10 win. Lions quarterback Bobby Layne had a horrible day, as he threw six interceptions. December 29, 1957 (NFL Championship Game) - Tobin Rote, playing for injured QB Bobby Layne, directed a relentless oensive attack as the Lions posted a 31-7 hal ime lead and coasted to their fourth NFL title. The highlight of the day came on a 78-yard bomb from Rote to Jim Doran that gave the Lions a 38-14 lead. Detroit

SERIES NOTES

The Packers and Lions have met on Thanksgiving Day 17 times, with the Lions holding an 11-5-1 advantage in those games. The Lions have played the Packers more times on Thanksgiving than any other team in the league. The Lions and Packers met 13 consecutive years on Thanksgiving Day from 1951-1963 with the Lions winning nine of those contests. 2003 was the Packers rst visit to Ford Field on Thanksgiving. Each team has recorded ve shutouts of one another since the beginning of the series in 1934, but there has not been a shutout between the two teams since the Lions held the Packers to zero points in a 20-0 win on December 20, 1970. The 11 consecutive wins that the Lions posted against Green Bay from December 11, 1949 to November 25, 1954 are the most by the Lions against any franchise. The 11game streak came a er the Lions were 8-29-1 in the rst 38 games of the series.

Frank Sinkwich set a Lions record by intercepting seven passes in a 27-6 loss to the Packers on October 24, 1943. These two franchises played in 127 regular season games in 60 years before meeting in the playos for the rst time following the 1993 season and then again following the 1994 season. The Packers came to Ford Field for its regular season opener on September 22, 2002 and defeated the Lions 37-31. K Jason Hanson became the 16th player in NFL history to reach the 300-point mark when he kicked a 36-yard eld goal against Green Bay December 12,2004. On December 12, 2004 rookie RB Kevin Jones registered his second-straight 150-yard rushing game, the rst Lions rookie RB to do so since Barry Sanders in 1997. The 17-3 Lions win in the 2005 season opener was the lowest point total in any game (including postseason) Packers QB Brett Favre has ever started.

SERIES NOTES

The rst two head coaches in Dolphins history both had ties to Detroit. George Wilson coached the Dolphins from 1966-69. He was an assistant with the Lions from 1949-56 and was the Lions head coach from 1957-64. Wilson was at the helm when the Lions won their last championship in 1957. Don Shula was the Dolphins head coach from 1970-95, and was an assistant under Wilson with the Lions from 1960-62.

The rst three of Miamis triumphs over the Lions clinched AFC Eastern Division titles for the Dolphins (in 1973, 1979 and 1994). Detroits win over Miami in 1985 was a historic one for the Lions. The win marked the rst time in NFL history that a club had beaten the Super Bowl participants from the previous year in back-to-back weeks (the Lions had edged the Super Bowl XIX champion San Francisco 49ers 23-21 only seven days earlier).

SERIES NOTES

The Lions trail 30-63-2 in the series with the Vikings in a NFC North Division rivalry that dates back to a 37-10 Detroit victory November 19, 1961 at Minnesota. With his opening kicko return for a touchdown at Minnesota November 21, 2004, Eddie Drummond became the rst player in NFL history to score three consecutive touchdowns for his team via punt and kicko returns. He became only the second player in NFL history to return two kickos and two punts for touchdowns in a single season, the other being Dant Hall (Kansas City) in 2003. The Lions won the rst ve outings and nine of the rst 14 games in the series; however, Minnesota then won 13 straight contests and 19 of the next 21. On two occasions, the Lions have accumulated 45 points in a single game against the Vikings. Detroit defeated Minnesota 45-14 December 9, 1978 and 45-7 December 12, 1981, with both games taking place at the Silverdome. Barry Sanders scored four touchdowns in the Lions 34-14 win at Minnesota November 24, 1991. His four touchdowns established a new Lions record for most rushing touchdowns in a single game. His four touchdowns and 24-point performance also

tied Lions single-game marks. Scott Mitchell set a Lions single-game record for passing yards, breaking Bobby Laynes previous mark of 375, when he accumulated 410 yards vs. Minnesota in a memorable Thanksgiving Day clash November 23, 1995. Mitchell completed 30-of-45 passes and tossed four touchdowns. The wide receiver trio of Herman Moore, Brett Perriman and Johnnie Morton each reached the 100-yard receiving mark in the contest. The Lions won the game 44-38. In their nal road game and the second-to-last game of the 1997 season, the Lions claimed a 14-13 victory over the Vikings at the Metrodome when Scott Mitchell tossed a one-yard pass to Herman Moore in the endzone to claim the come-from-behind victory with two second remaining to play. Mitchell engineered the game-winning 72-yard drive that began with 1:56 remaining to play and with only one timeout. A er losing 13 straight games to open the 2001 season, the Lions rallied against the Vikings and won their rst game of the season at the Silverdome vs. the Vikings on December 16, 2001.

The Lions-Giants series is one of four series (Arz, Chi and GB) in franchise history that dates back to 1930, Portsmouths inaugural season in the NFL. The Lions hold a 21-17-1 lead in the series which dates back to a 19-6 New York victory at Detroit November 5, 1930, when the Lions were known as the Portsmouth Spartans. Detroit dominated the series initially, claiming eight of the rst 12 contests, but the Giants have won eight of the last 12 decisions. The Giants were the opposition in the Lions rst-ever game in Detroit. The Lions won the game 9-0 September 23, 1934 at University of Detroit Stadium. The Lions and the Giants played the NFLs last scoreless tie. The 0-0 game was played November 7, 1943 at New York. Detroit claimed its rst NFL championship with a 26-7 win over the defending champion Giants December 15, 1935. The contest marked the only time the two teams have met in postseason action.

In the Lions 28-13 win over the Giants October 24, 2004, QB Joey Harrington had the most ecient outing of his career, completing 18-of-22 passes to set single-game career highs with an 81.8 completion percentage and a 140.5 quarterback rating.

SERIES NOTES

RB Barry Sanders 184 yards rushing in the contest made him only the third player in NFL history to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark in a season. The noise was so boisterous at the sold-out Silverdome near the end of the game that players reported the turf actually vibrating beneath their feet. Unfortunately, Lions LB Reggie Brown suered a career-ending neck injury in the fourth quarter of the game. The Lions defeated the Jets 10-7 at the Meadowlands December 17, 2000 in the Lions nal road game of the season. Detroits lone touchdown was a fumble recovery in the endzone by G Je Hartings.

SERIES NOTES

Detroit claimed victories in the rst four games of the series, with each being a shutout. The Lions also won seven of the rst eight meetings. In 25 regular season meetings, the Lions have scored more than 30 points only twice (35 points in both 1935 and 1965). Philadelphia, however, has also been limited to only three 30-point outbursts (45 points in 1948, 44 points in 1979, and 30 points September 26, 2004). The Lions last tie in a regular season game was against the Eagles (23-23) November 4, 1984 at the Silverdome, and was the only tie in Silverdome history. In 2004, Philadelphia visited the Motor City for the rst time since November 4, 1984. With nine receptions for 135 yards vs. Philadelphia September 26, 2004, WR Roy Williams became the rst Detroit rookie receiver to top 100 yards receiving since

Larry Foster caught eight passes for 106 yards at Minnesota (11/30/00). It marked Williams rst 100-yard receiving game of his career. In Detroits last win over Philadelphia, the Lions defense sacked Eagles QB Randall Cunningham 11 times to tie a club record in a 13-11 win November 6, 1986. Seven Lions defenders recorded sacks, including four by Keith Ferguson and 2.5 by William Gay. A 72-yard scoring strike from Joe Ferguson-to-Je Chadwick in the rst quarter turned out to be the only touchdown of the game. In the Lions rst visit to Lincoln Financial Field September 23, 2007 to take on the Eagles, QB Jon Kitna set a franchise record with 446 passing yards. Kitna connected with WR Roy Williams for a 91-yard touchdown for the longest pass play in the NFL for 2007. The 91-yard pass play were career highs for both Kitna and Williams. With 204 receiving yards, Williams career high was the third-highest tally by a receiver in Lions history.

SERIES NOTES

The Detroit Lions played in Heinz Fields rst game during the preseason (August, 25, 2001). In 2002, the Lions returned the favor as the Steelers played in the rst game at Ford Field (August 24, 2002), which the Steelers won 34-22. In the rst meeting between the two teams, the Lions beat the Steelers 40-7 behind a then-NFL record 426 yards rushing. Ernie Caddell scored three touchdowns in one of the more memorable games of the Lions rst season in Detroit. The Lions won the rst four meetings of the series and were 12-4-1 through the rst 17 contests, although the Steelers have bounced back to claim eight of the last 10 meetings. In the 1952 meeting, Bob Hoernschmeyer ran for 107 yards and the Lions rolled up 321 yards rushing. The Detroit defense held Pittsburgh to minus-3 yards rushing in a 31-6 win in Pittsburgh. Detroit passed for a then-club-record 375 yards (364 by Bobby Layne) in a 38-21 Lions victory September 27, 1953.

Detroits 45-3 win over the Steelers November 24, 1983 stands as the Lions largest winning margin in the history of the teams Thanksgiving Day series (second-largest in team history). The Lions also defeated Pittsburgh 19-16 in overtime November 26, 1998 in the second Thanksgiving Day matchup between the two teams. Jason Hanson made his fourth eld goal of the game (42-yarder) 2:52 into the extra period. The game marked the rst Thanksgiving overtime contest since 1980, and also was highlighted by a gutsy performance by Pittsburgh native, Charlie Batch, who completed 16-of-23 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown despite leaving the game for a time with a strained neck. The game will be remembered by a strange coin toss to begin the overtime period. When Pittsburgh visits Detroit October 11, 2009, it will mark the Steelers rst regular season game at Ford Field. The Steelers were the rst-ever Lions opponent in a preseason game, and the Steelers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL played at Ford Field.

SERIES NOTES

2001 marked the nal year of the Lions and the Buccaneers annual home-andhome divisional series between the two teams. As the NFL re-aligned in 2002 with the addition of the Houston Texans, Detroit was grouped in the NFC North division (Chicago, Green Bay and Minnesota) and Tampa Bay shi ed to the NFC South division (Atlanta, Carolina and New Orleans). The two teams, however, did play December 15, 2002 at Ford Field in the 49th game in the series history. The Buccaneers won the game 23-20. The Lions are 1-1 at Ford Field, 14-9 in the Silverdome, and 12-14 in Tampa (regular season) vs. the Buccaneers. The series went 23 games during 1983-94 without either team winning more than two games in a row. The streak ended when Detroit claimed ve wins in a row, starting November 13, 1994 and continuing with season sweeps over the Bucs in 1995-96.

Detroit has been victorious in two of the ve games the Lions have played at Raymond James Stadium, including a 28-14 win in a Thursday night nationally televised game October 19, 2000. In Detroits 14-9 win at the Silverdome November 13, 1994, Barry Sanders rushed for a franchise-record 237 yards (then-sixth-highest single-game total in NFL history). Sanders gained a NFL record 200 yards in the second half. Sanders made more history in Detroits 27-9 win over the Buccaneers at Houlihans Stadium October 12, 1997. Sanders became the rst player in NFL history to record two runs of 80 yards-or-more in the same game. He broke o an 80-yard scoring play late in the rst quarter, and added an 82-yard touchdown romp in the third quarter and nished the day with 215 yards rushing on 24 carries. The two clubs met for the only time in the playos December 28, 1997, with the Buccaneers coming away with a 20-10 win.

The teams rst met October 17, 1971 in Houston, with the Lions coming away with a 31-7 win. The Titans have won six of the last eight contests.

Lorenzo Whites 8-yard touchdown scamper with 1:17 remaining sealed the Titans victory and ended Detroits three-game Thanksgiving Day win streak. On December 10, 1995, QB Scott Mitchell set the Lions all-time record for most touchdown passes in a season. Bobby Layne had previously owned the record (26 in 1951). Mitchell completed the 95 season with 32 touchdown passes.

Detroit welcomed the Lions in 1934, but it was not the areas rst look at professional football. In 1920, the Detroit Heralds were a charter member of the American Professional Football Association, which was the original name of the present NFL, but the club folded a er two years. The Detroit Panthers appeared in 1925, but also folded a er two seasons. In 1928, the Detroit Wolverines were formed, but they failed a er just one year. In 1930, the then-10-year-old National Football League added a franchise from Portsmouth, Ohio, called the Spartans. A er four seasons, the team was purchased for $7,952.08 by a group headed by Detroit radio executive George A. Richards and moved to the Motor City. Playing in the University of Detroit Stadium before crowds that averaged 16,000, the new Detroit Lions won the NFL Championship in only their second year (1935). Under the leadership of Coach Potsy Clark and stars like Hall of Famer Dutch Clark, Ernie Caddel, George Christensen, Ace Gutowsky, Glenn Presnell and Ox Emerson, the early Lions established pro football in Detroit. In 1940, Chicagoan Fred Mandel bought the club. Lions stars of that era included Hall of Famers Bill Dudley and Alex Wojciechowicz, John Green, Byron Whizzer White, Frank Sinkwich and Camp Wilson. The team was sold eight years later to a group of local businessmen under the leadership of Edwin J. Anderson. The Detroit syndicate controlled the club until 1964, when William Clay Ford became the sole owner for a price of $4.5 million. The Lions dominated the NFL in the 1950s with four division titles and three league championships. Under the direction of head coach Buddy Parker, the team won back-to-back world crowns in 1952-53, defeating Cleveland on both occasions. Stars of those powerful teams were Hall of Famers Bobby Layne, Jack Christiansen, Doak Walker and Lou Creekmur, as well as Les Bingaman, Cloyce Box, Leon Hart and Bob Hoernschemeyer. The Detroit-Cleveland battles of the era were classic confrontations between two giants of the blossoming NFL. Since their last title in 1957 under the coaching of George Wilson, the Lions have continued searching for the leagues top spot. Such performers as Joe Schmidt, Yale Lary, Dick Night Train Lane, John Henry Johnson and Lem Barney have been elected to the Hall of Fame. Outstanding players such as Wayne Walker, Mike Lucci, Nick Pietrosante, Roger Brown, Terry Barr, Mel Farr, Charlie Sanders, Dexter Bussey, Billy Sims and Doug English have also taken their places in the annals of pro football in Detroit. In 1967, Schmidt began the rst of six seasons as head coach of the Lions. His 1970 team made the playos, (rst postseason trip since 57) but lost in the rst round to Dallas by the baseballlike score of 5-0. Prior to the 1975 season, the Lions moved into a new, domed stadium in Pontiac, Mich., a suburb located 30 miles north of Detroit. The Silverdome was at one time the worlds largest airsupported domed structure and seated over 80,000 spectators under a berglass roof. Monte Clark took control of all football operations as head coach in 1978. Under Clarks direction, the Lions narrowly missed playo berths in 1980-81, before qualifying in 1982 the Lions rst playo appearance since 1970. Detroit captured the NFC Central Division crown in 1983, but stumbled in the rst round of the playos with a 24-23 loss at San Francisco. Darryl Rogers took over for Clark in 1985 but was replaced on an interim basis by his defensive coordinator Wayne Fontes in November 1988 a er Rogers teams had posted a combined 18-40 record. Fontes was ocially named the franchises 18th head coach on December 22, 1988. The Lions Restored the Roar in 1991, winning a franchiserecord 12 regular season games. Riding a tide of emotion a er guard Mike Utleys paralyzing neck injury, Detroit defeated Dallas, 38-6, in the Lions rst Silverdome playo contest. The victory gave the Lions a berth in the NFC Championship Game, where Detroit fell to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Washington Redskins. The Lions nished 10-6 in 1993 en route to capturing the NFC Central Division title, and earned a Wild Card playo bid in 1994. The 1995 Lions featured the NFLs top-rated oense and won their

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LIONS

nal seven games to earn a third straight playo berth. Herman Moore set an NFL record with 123 catches, and he and Brett Perriman became the rst teammates to each total over 100 catches in the same season. The receiver tandem also set the NFL record for most receiving yards in a season. Quarterback Scott Mitchell set team passing records for yards (4,338), completions (346) and touchdowns (32). In 1996, running back Barry Sanders captured his third NFL rushing title with a dramatic 175-yard outburst on the nal Monday night of the season in San Francisco. The Lions, however, nished a disappointing 5-11 in 96 and following the season, Fontes was replaced as head coach by former San Diego Chargers head coach, Bobby Ross. Fontes, who was the head coach for more than eight full seasons, nished his career as the teams all-time leader among head coaches in both wins (67) and games coached (138). Ross was named the 19th head coach in team history January 13, 1997, and led the club back to the playos in his inaugural year at the helm with a 9-7 record. That season, Sanders, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in August 2004, continued his storybook career by becoming only the third player in league history to record 2,000 yards rushing in a single-season (2,053) and he reeled o an NFL record 14 consecutive 100-yard outings to nish the season. The Lions closed out the 1990s reaching the playos for the sixth time in the 10-year span, which is a franchise record for playo appearances during a decade. Detroits playo berth in 1999 marked the second time in Ross rst three years as head coach that he led the Lions into the postseason. The last Lions head coach to accomplish that feat was Buddy Parker in 1952-53 during his second and third seasons at the helm. After playing nine games into the 2000 season and compiling a 5-4 record, Ross abruptly resigned as head coach November 6 and was immediately replaced by Gary Moeller. Moeller guided the team to a 4-3 record over the last seven games, but narrowly missed the playos with a loss to the Chicago Bears in the season nale. Following the season, William Clay Ford named Matt Millen president and CEO, and he assumed control over team operations. On January 25, 2001 Gary Moeller was replaced as head coach by former San Francisco 49ers oensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg. On April 1, 2002, Detroit relocated the teams day-to-day operations into the new $36 million Headquarters and Training Facility in Allen Park. The new complex features outdoor and indoor practice elds, spacious training and meeting rooms and even the teams own broadcast studio. A new era in Lions history dawned as Ford Field, the teams $500 million downtown Detroit stadium, opened its doors in August 2002. The 65,000-seat stadium sparkled as its retro and innovative features glistened in the national spotlight as the premiere sports and entertainment complex. The Lions played the rst game at Ford Field August 24, 2002 in a preseason tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The inaugural regular season game was played between the Lions and the Green Bay Packers September 22, 2002. In January 2003, Mornhinweg was red a er two seasons and former San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Steve Mariucci was tabbed the new Lions head coach February 4. For the rst time since the Lions placed the Leaping Lion logo on the players helmets in 1961, Detroit announced a major addition to the teams uniform on April 23, 2003. The Lions classic uniform now features black trim on the logo, jerseys and pants, along with black shoes and black facemasks. In April 2005, the team introduced an alternate black jersey that would be worn through 2007. On Novemver 28, 2005, Steve Mariucci was relieved of his duties as head coach and defensive coordinator Dick Jauron was named interim head coach for the remaining ve games. In 2006, the Lions hired Rod Marinelli as the teams 24th head coach, a position he would hold through 2008. In 2008, the Lions commemorated the franchises 75th

season in Detroit. Just a handful of NFL teams have been around as long as the Lions, a franchise that spans several generations of fans over the years. Detroit has called three dierent stadiums home with nearly 1,400 players seeing action on a given gameday and numerous coaches strolling the sideline. That history is rich with great players who have donned the uniform -- the Lions are one of only nine teams to have at least 17 Pro Football Hall of Fame players don their respective uniforms -- and with traditions like the Honolulu Blue and Silver, the leaping Lion logo, the Roaring 20s and the teams annual Thanksgiving Tradition. With 75 years now in the rear-view mirror, Detroit is embarking on a new era of Lions football. In 2009, the franchise is led by ownership determined to deliver a winning team to the fans of Detroit. The Lions begin this endeavor with strong leadership and a renewed resolve to build a winner. For the rst time in team history, the team enters the new season with a new president, Tom Lewand, a new general manager, Martin Mayhew, and a new head coach, Jim Schwartz, hired Janaury 16, 2009, who are the driving force for the teams success on and o the eld.

HISTORY BOOK
Four generations of Detroiters have been a proud part of the American celebration of Thanksgiving. The relationship between Detroit and Thanksgiving dates back to 1934 when owner G.A. Richards scheduled a holiday contest between his rst-year Lions and the Chicago Bears. Some 75 years later, fans throughout Michigan have transformed an annual holiday event into the single greatest tradition in the history of American professional team sports. Indeed, if football is Americas passion, Thanksgiving football is Detroits passion. It was, legend says, a typically colorful, probably chilly, November day in 1622 that Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the new worlds bounty with a sumptuous feast. They sat together at Plymouth Plantation (they spelled it Plimouth) in Massachusetts, gave thanks for the goodness set before them, then dined on pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, maize, cranberry sauce, turkey and who knows what else. Actually, sh was just as predominant a staple. And history books say pumpkin pie really debuted a year later. But regardless of the accuracy of the details, thats how Thanksgiving Day is seen by Americans -- except Detroiters. They may have most of the same images as everyone else, but with a new twist that began in 1934. Thats when Detroiters and their outstate Michigan compatriots found themselves at the dawn of an unplanned behavior modication, courtesy of George A. Dick Richards, owner of the citys new entry in the National Football League: The Detroit Lions. Larry Paladino, Lions Pride, 1993 Richards, the rst owner of the Detroit Lions, was behind the Lions inaugural Thanksgiving game in 1934. Richards had purchased the team in June of that year and moved the Lions from Portsmouth, Ohio, to the Motor City. The Lions were the new kids in town and had taken a backseat to the Tigers of baseball. Despite the fact that the Lions had lost just one game prior to the Thanksgiving Day game that season, the largest crowd that season had been just 15,000.

LIONS THANKSGIVING DAY TRADITION

November 29, 1934 was the undefeated, defending World Champion Chicago Bears of George Halas and the rising star of that era, fullback Bronko Nagurski. The game would determine the champion of the Western Division. Richards had convinced the NBC Radio Network to carry the game coast-to-coast (94 stations), and additionally, an estimated 26,000 jammed into University of Detroit Stadium while thousands of disappointed fans were turned away. In the inaugural game, the Bears won 19-16 and a classic was born. Since 34, the Lions have played 69 Thanksgiving Day games with Detroit leading the series 33-34-2. A total of 3,863,644 fans have witnessed Thanksgiving Day games in Detroit. The Lions Thanksgiving Day classic has been sold out in each of the last 14 seasons (since 1994). The Detroit Lions 70th Thanksgiving Day Classic this year will feature the Lions hosting long-time rival Green Bay Thursday, November 26 at 12:30 p.m. This years Lions-Packers Thanksgiving Day game will renew a holiday rivalry that dates back to 1951. It will mark the 19th time the Lions have battled the Packers on Thanksgiving, with Detroit holding an 11-6-1 (.647) advantage. The Lions have played Green Bay more than any other opponent in the Thanksgiving Day series. For 13 consecutive years from 1951-63, the Lions and Packers met on Thanksgiving, with the Lions claiming a 9-3-1 record during that span. The Lions-Packers Turkey Day tilt marks the fourth time since 2001 that the two teams will play in Detroit on Thanksgiving and the third at Ford Field. THANKSGIVING RECORDS VS. OPPONENTS

DETROIT LIONS UNIFORM HISTORY

1934-1947: The rst uniform donned by the Detroit Lions included a blue jersey with gleaming silver numerals, silver pants and a silver helmet. The shoes were black. The shade of blue used for the jersey became known as Honolulu blue. 1948: Alvin Bo McMillin joined the Lions a er having success as a college coach at Indiana University. Soon a er his arrival, McMillin changed the colors of the Lions uniforms with the new colors resembling those of his Hoosier teams. The organization retained Honolulu blue and silver as their ocial colors The jersey was scarlet with white numbers and the pants were white with a thin black stripe between two thin scarlet stripes. The helmets were black. All the players wore leather helmets that season due to the leagues ban on plastic helmets. The team had a second, all-black uniform, which would be worn only for certain important games that McMillin particularly wished to win. The jersey was black with white numbers and the pants were black with a thin scarlet stripe between two thin white stripes. The two uniform sets ended up being worn in four dierent combinations (scarlet/white; black/black; scarlet/black; black/white). 1949: The Lions returned to wearing their Honolulu blue and silver uniforms at home but continued to wear combinations of the scarlet and white uniforms and the all-black uniforms on the road. The team changed the color of their helmet to blue and some players went back to wearing plastic helmets a er the NFL li ed the ban on plastic headgear from the previous season. 1950-55: A er wearing ve dierent combinations of scarlet, white, black, silver and Honolulu blue in the previous two seasons, the Lions went back to wearing the traditional Honolulu blue and silver uniforms at home and on the road. For most of the 1950 season the team wore blue helmets but went back to wearing silver helmets for the 1951 season. During the early 50s, the NFL did not allow the Lions to wear silver helmets for night games because of their resemblance to the white ball under the night lights. They spray-painted their helmets blue for night games. Also, in 1951, the Lions wore the Detroit 250th Anniversary patch on their le sleeve. The patch was also worn by the Red Wings and Tigers. 1956: This was the rst season that the Lions added their uniform numbers to the arm sleeves. Some players, like Lions Hall of Fame LT Lou Creekmur, were unhappy with the change claiming that it made it harder to get away with holding. 1957-60: The Lions began wearing separate colored uniforms on the road on a permanent basis in 1957. The jersey was white with three blue stripes, one thick between two thin stripes, on the sleeves. The numbers were blue and the helmet and pants remained silver.

The pants also had two vertical blue stripes. Three silver stripes, one thick between two thin, were added to the arm sleeves of the home jersey. The away jersey remained the same. During the mid-60s, many players cut o part of the sleeves giving appearance of only one or two stripes. 1968-69: 1968 was the rst year the Lions had a white stripe between the two blue stripes on the helmet. The Lions and the rest of the league wore the NFL 50th Anniversary patch on their le shoulder in 1969. 1970-71: Last names were added to the back of the players jerseys in silver lettering and white trim was added to the Leaping Lion logo on the helmet in 1970. For the second half of the 1971 season, the Lions wore a black band, which was sewn over the thick stripe on the le sleeve on their home and away jerseys, in honor of wide receiver Chuck Hughes. Hughes died of a heart attack with 62 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bears on October 24, 1971. 1972: The Honolulu blue home jersey had white trim on the silver numerals and the white jerseys had silver trim on blue numerals for the rst time in 1972. It was also the rst year that there was a white, vertical stripe between the two blue stripes on the pants. The Lions tweaked the striping on the arm-sleeves for that season as well. The home jerseys had the one thick silver stripe between two thin white stripes and the away jersey had the one thick blue stripe between to thin silver stripes. 1973-75: Detroit changed back to the three silver stripes, one thick between two thin, on the sleeves of the Honolulu blue home jersey except now they had white trim. The away white jersey had three blue stripes, one thick between two thin, and they had silver trim. For the 1974 season, the Lions wore a black band, which was sewn over the thick stripe on the le sleeve of their home and away jerseys, in honor of Head Coach Don McCaerty who died of a heart attack during training camp. 1974 was also the season that the Lions started wearing white shoes. 1976-79: In 1976, the players numbers were added to the back of the helmet. 1980-81: The Lions changed the dull silver stripes and trimming on their uniforms to a shimmering silver glitter. This only lasted two seasons because of complaints by other teams about the glare. 1982-97: 1982: The Lions changed the color of the numbers on their home jerseys, making them white with silver trim. 1983: The Lions wore a 50th Anniversary patch on their le shoulder.

LIONS NEW COMPREHENSIVE BRAND

Numerals were customized specically for the Lions uniform. They are Honolulu Blue, trimmed in silver and black. Above the new numerals is the new Lions logotype. On the collar, there are three trim lines of equal width, with two black trim lines outside a silver trim line. The sleeves are a new knit sleeve that features a wide silver trim, inside two smaller white trims and those all inside two black trims of equal width as the white trim. The new material is improved and more exible for players. The trim is part of the knit-sleeve material, which was changed from the previous silk-screened sleeve. Numerals remain on the shoulders but are now in the customized Lions jersey numerals. Players nameplates on the back of the uniform have slightly modied block letters from the previous block letter names on the back of the uniform.
ROAD WHITE JERSEYS

The road jerseys are the traditional road whites, with blue numerals trimmed in silver and black. On the road jerseys, the collar is in the same black and silver trim pattern as the home uniforms. Sleeves are of the same new knit-sleeve material that are on the new home uniforms. The trim on the sleeves includes a wide Honolulu blue trim, inside two smaller silver trims and those are all inside two black trims of equal width as the white trim.
HELMET

The helmet now features the new logo on each side. It is the most signicant change since the Lions logo was rst placed on the teams helmet in 1961. The facemasks will remain black, but the new Lions logotype will be included on the front and the back of the helmet. At the top middle of the helmet, the striping pattern has been modied. Instead of a thick white stripe, two Honolulu blue stripes and a very thin black accent stripe, the helmet striping pattern is now a 5/8-inch Honolulu blue stripe, two 3/16-inch white stripes and two 3/16-inch black stripes. The striping pattern is the same striping pattern as the teams game pants.
PANTS AND GAME SOCKS

The game pants will remain in the teams traditional silver. Like the striping pattern on the helmet, the pants vertical trim on the side of the legs are now a thick Honolulu blue stripe inside smaller white stripes, which are all inside black stripes that are the same width as the white stripes. The game socks, which are the same for the home and road uniforms, now have a 5/8-inch black stripe on the calf midline. The top half is Honolulu blue and the bottom half is white.

LIONS IN THE COMMUNITY
MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT
The Ford Familys commitment to community service and dedication to making an impact in the lives of the citizens of Michigan is evident by the contributions made all year long by the Detroit Lions players, coaches and sta.

They also take time to sign autographs and take photos for the children and their families.

Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions, is one of the premiere sports and entertainment stadiums in the world, and that fact has been proven over and over again the past few years with such high-prole international events like Super Bowl XL. Every event at Ford Field impacts the city of Detroit beyond the event itself inside the stadium. For example, by hosting the Super Bowl in Detroit, Ford Field stood as the centerpiece to an over $260 million economic impact on Metro Detroit. And none of that would have been made possible without the vision and investment made by Lions Owner and Chairman William Clay Ford and the Ford family to not only construct a ne football stadium but an unrivaled sports and entertainment venue. HOME FOR FOOTBALL More than just a home for the Lions, few stadiums in the country hold a football schedule as aggressive as Ford Field. Football championships have been held at virtually every level ranging from youth football to the Super Bowl. Ford Field is busy during the summer time as well when the Detroit Lions Youth Football Programs host both summer camps and a high school 7-on-7 tournament at the stadium. 2008 FALL FOOTBALL EVENTS

FORD FIELD

SUPER BOWL XL RECAP In 2006, Ford Field and Metro Detroit sparkled as the international sports community converged for the NFLs championship game. Much changed for the city of Detroit in 25 years since the Super Bowl was played there last, said former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. The energy of the city and the revival of downtown Detroit are evident. Detroit was a wonderful host and the hospitality exceeded expectations. From the media center and NFL headquarters at GM World Headquarters and the Renaissance Center, to the NFL Experience at Cobo Center, to the events at some of downtowns historic theatres, to the game at Ford Field, our fans, teams, business partners and media enjoyed their Super Bowl experience in Detroit. THE ROAD AHEAD Football events are not the only major events on the docket at Ford Field. The future is gearing up for several spectacular events, including the return of Kenny Chesneys Sun City Carnival 2009 Tour in August and the NCAA Mens Hockey Frozen Four in April 2010. These events are anchors in an impressive entertainment schedule that continues serving as a centerpiece to growth in Detroits downtown business district. The following is the Ford Field upcoming events calendar (tentative). 2009

2010
Jan. 16: Monster Jam Apr. 8 and 10: NCAA Mens Hockey Frozen Four

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS The 2009 NCAA Mens Basketball Final Four reached new heights this past year as Ford Field served as the host site for one of the years biggest sporting events. It capped o two years of setting new standards for the mens basketball championships, which included attendance records for the Final Four, National Championship and preliminary rounds. With the Final Four and Midwest Regionals now a success, Ford Field and the Detroit Metro area is gearing up to have that same impact on the 2010 NCAA Mens Hockey Frozen Four. 2009 MENS NCAA FINAL FOUR This years Final Four nalized a process that included six years of planning with the ultimate goal of delivering a Final Four like no other, and the NCAA, Ford Field and the city of Detroit did just that. The cornerstone to this years championship was the center stadium court and seating conguration that included customized risers and, for the rst time, designated student sections. On the court, the Final Four featured Michigan State defeating Connecticut, 82-73, and North Carolina defeating Villanova, 83-69 in the National Seminals. In the National Championship, North Carolina ousted Michigan State, 89-72, to claim the NCAA title. The weekend kicked o on a record note as Final Four Friday drew a record crowd with nearly 30,000 in attendance. The games were expected to establish new records, and they delivered as well. The National Seminals set an all-time record with 72,456 fans attending both games, and the National Championship upped that amount when it drew 72,992. Overall, 145,378 fans attended the Final Four, which also set a new record. Festivities surrounding the Final Four livened up downtown Detroit. The ancillary events, like Hoops City, also drew record crowds over the ve-day period. The NCAA and the Detroit Local Organizing Committee worked together on several community outreaches, which include a new legacy program. In the Detroit community, new early learning and literacy centers were opened. All of this was made possible by the vision of Ford Field and the NCAA to take this event to new levels. In the end, the Final Four generated an estimated $30-50 million impact on the city of Detroit. MIDWEST REGIONALS Midwest Regionals, which included the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight rounds, were held March 28 and 30 in downtown Detroit for the rst time as well, and both sessions set new preliminary rounds attendance records with 57,028 and 57,563 respectively for each session. A record of 114,591 was also established for both sessions. The excitement for the Midwest Regional was evident when 50,000 tickets were sold prior to the announcement of the 65-team tournament. Teams in the regional included Kansas (1 seed), Wisconsin (3), Davidson (10 seed) and Villanova (12 seed). Davidson upset Wisconsin,73-56, in the rst game and Kansas defeated Villanova, 72-57, in the second game. The regional title was claimed by Kansas with a win over Davidson, 59-57, in a game that came down to the nal seconds. The previous attendance record for a single Regional game was 42,519. That mark was set at the Michigan State vs. Kentucky game in St. Louis Trans World Dome in 1999.

THIS & THAT

NCAA HOCKEY Beyond 2009, Ford Field will elevate collegiate hockey to an all-time level when it hosts the NCAA Mens 2010 Frozen Four. In an area that shows great support annually for college hockey and several Division I programs in the state of Michigan, Ford Field, which will be the largest stadium ever to host the Frozen Four, is the ideal venue to provide access to more fans of college hockeys version of the Final Four than ever before. In the state alone, there are eight Division I mens hockey programs, and in the 60 years of crowning an NCAA champion, ve schools from Michigan have won the title a combined 19 times. A LOOK AT THE PAST On November 16, 1999, a new era in Detroit Lions history began when the team ocially launched the construction of its new downtown Detroit stadium. In 2002, the Lions and the city of Detroit unveiled one of the most impressive sports and entertainment venues ever built. The Lions downtown home is an incomparable 65,000-seat facility that includes a giant glass wall, revealing the picturesque Detroit skyline, and the old Hudsons Warehouse, originally built in 1920. The massive project encompasses a total of 1.85 million square feet of development. The old Hudsons Warehouse, a major cornerstone of Ford Field, houses most of the stadium luxury seats, pressbox, restaurants, food courts, lounge areas, banquet facilities, entertainment venues and commercial space. The inclusion of the warehouse into the stadium project allows the sightlines at Ford Field to be among the very best in the NFL. In fact, even the locker room facilities have been built in the basement of the seven-story historic Detroit structure. Detroit played its rst home preseason game at Ford Field Saturday, August 24, 2003 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Almost one month later, the Lions celebrated the inaugural regular season game at Ford Field Sunday, September 22 when they played host to their long-time divisional rival, the Green Bay Packers. The 2002 home opener marked the return of the Lions to downtown Detroit for the rst time since 1974. Following the grand opening event and the Lions rst regular season game, Ford Fields rst concert was headlined by the rock-and-roll legends, the Rolling Stones. At Super Bowl XL, the Rolling Stones returned to headline the NFLs hal ime show. Not only has Ford Field impressed the NFL owners, but it has also made an impact on the NCAA to name the stadium the site of the 2009 NCAA Mens Basketball Final Four. Ford Field warmed-up for that championship event by hosting one of the four Mens Basketball Regional Finals in 2008. In addition to the mens basketball championship, the NCAA will return in 2010 as Ford Field hosts the Mens Hockey Frozen Four. In April 2007, Ford Field expanded its portfolio when it hosted one of the biggest sports entertainment events of the year when the WWEs Wrestlemania extravaganza rolled into town. The event set a Ford Field record with 80,103 in attendance and it was the second-highest tally in the 23-year history of the event behind Wrestlemania III (93,173) held at the Pontiac Silverdome. Wrestlemania 23 at Ford Field included fans from 23 dierent countries, including all 50 states and nine Canadian provinces. Wrestlemania was the highest grossing one-day live event in WWE history, and holding the event at Ford Field helped pump an estimated $25 million into the local economy. Ford Field has also hosted prominent motorsports events, including the United States Hot Rod Associations Monster Jam monster truck series for the past two years and the AMA Ampd Mobile Supercross series. Ford Field began as a construction phenomenon on multiple fronts, and is now a crown jewel of stadiums in the NFL and Detroits downtown entertainment district. The stadiums impact continues to grow as Ford Field plays host to football games, sports and entertainment events, tradeshows and concerts. PAST EVENTS 2002
