Jon Kitna threw a pair of touchdown passes to Roy Williams and running back Kevin Jones also scored on a four-yard run. The Lions are now two games behind the Packers in the NFC North.

I keep hearing that Kevin Jones was ailing some and that his poor performance running was because of this. Watching the game I saw something different. I saw Kevin missing holes inside. I saw him trying to create when the play didn’t call for it. Also, is he the only running back Detroit has? If he is than how can we expect to win this year. I’ve seen some nice runs from TJ Duckett this year. I seems that at the very least he should have been inserted to hit the hole and soften the defense up every 5 or 6 plays. Kevin was missing blocking assignments. Seems like TJ could have been a wide body used for blocking and catching passes out of the back field.
