‘Harrington is 2-2 in four games as a starter. Not overwhelming, but solid considering Harrington took over a team which had lost 19 of its previous 22 games. In both his losses, Harrington had the Lions knocking on the door at the end of the game.’

‘They rank 29th overall in the NFL and 16th and dead last in the NFC in offense. Defensively, the Lions rank 28th in the NFL and 14th in the NFC.’

‘"I’m trying to get back in my zone," said Williams, who had offseason surgery on both ankles. "Last year, I was getting (pain-killer) shots every week so I could play. But I feel good now, and I’m just trying to take it to people."’

‘Rogers may have a chance to break loose Sunday against the Detroit Lions, who are ranked 29th in kickoff coverage.’

‘"The key is to be consistent week in and week out and the best way to be consistent is to have a strong running attack," said Bledsoe, who has thrown 15 touchdown passes and just five interceptions. "The nature of the passing game is far too inconsistent every week. If you have to throw the ball all the time, there are a lot of variables and it’s more difficult to be consistent."’

‘With 19 sacks, the Bills are on pace to finish with 43, nine more than last season.’

‘The statistics say Drew Bledsoe-Moulds is No. 1, followed by Bledsoe-Peerless Price.’

‘Kickoff is 1 p.m. and will be carried on the Fox Network. Ron Pitts, a former Bills cornerback, will do the play-by-play and Tim Green, former Syracuse University All-American, will be the color analyst.’

‘"He’s shown it already for us. We feel we can be in any ballgame as long as he’s playing quarterback."’

‘"If you do the job right, opposing coaches know," he said. "Opposing players know. Your teammates know."’

‘Thursday’s practice was outdoors, to get the Lions ready for the cool environment for Sunday’s game in Orchard Park, N.Y.’
