Niners Come Back To Hand Lions First Loss

At Detroit:


Quarterback Alex Smith threw a six-yard touchdown pass to tight end Delanie Walker with 1:51 remaining as the San Francisco 49ers came from behind to knock off the previously undefeated Detroit Lions 25-19 in Sunday National Football League action.  Frank Gore carried the ball 15 times for 141 yards (including runs of 47 and 55 yards) and a touchdown (1 yard).  The defeat ended the Lions' regular-season winning streak at nine games dating back to last season.  The Niners now hold a 2 and 1/2 game lead atop the NFC West Division.  Both teams are now at 5-1.

Niners Too Much For Sloppy Lions

At San Francisco:

Frank Gore scored on a one-yard run and became the first player in club history to run for 1000 for more yards for four consecutive years as the San Francisco 49ers (7-8) defeated the error-prone Detroit Lions (2-13) 20-6 on Sunday in their final home contest of the season.

Nice Going, Pacman

The National Football League on Tuesday suspended indefinitely without pay (at least four games) Dallas Cowboys defensive back Adam Jones because of an alcohol-related fight with his team-appointed bodyguard last week.

It appears that NFL commissioner Roger Godell was not going to screw around with the man who dropped his nickname "Pacman."

Yep, it looks like Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took a roll of the dice and crapped out. Another defensive back, Terrance Newman, is out with an injury, quarterback Tony Romo is expected to be out four weeks because of a broken pinky suffered in the Sunday loss at Arizona, their punter, Mat McBriar, is lost for the season after suffering a broken foot while getting a punt blocked that was returned for the Cardinals' game winning touchdown in overtime, and running back Felix Jones (no relation) is also injured.

UPDATE: The Dallas Cowboys, at the trade deadline, picked up wide receiver Roy Williams (and a 2009 7th round draft pick) from the Detroit Lions in exchange for three draft picks for 2009: A first, third, and sixth rounder.
