4-0

I've been a Detroit Lions fan for as long as I can remember. The Lions have had their share of ups and downs, especially downs of lately. Their last winning season was in 2000, with a record of 9-7. But who could forget the horrible year in 2008 when the Lions went 0-16. Through all of the bad seasons, I was still a fan.

Now in 2011, the Detroit Lions are 4-0. Detroit and Green Bay are the only teams left in the NFL with undefeated seasons. The Lions host the Chicago Bears (2-2) on October 10 for a Monday Night Football game. I can't even remember the last time Detroit played on Monday night. The Lions need to play well in the first half so they don't have to come back in the second half like they did against Minnesota and Dallas.
