The Lions lead the Redskins, 13-7, through three quarters.
If the home team can hold on for 15 more minutes, the Lions will have their first win since December 23, 2007, when they defeated the Chiefs at Ford Field, 25-20.
And it will be only the second win since November 4, 2007, when the Lions somehow blasted the Broncos, 44-7, to push their record to 6-2.
So after starting the 2007 season at 6-2, the Lions have gone 1-25.
1-25.
