What were you doing one year ago today? Christmas shopping? Watching football? The Lions were winning a game.

They beat the Kansas City Chiefs one year ago today, 25-20, at Ford Field. They've lost 16 straight games in the 366 days since (it's a leap year) and have given up exactly twice as many points as they've scored, 520-260.

It'll be at least a few more days before the Lions get in the win column - they play Sunday at Green Bay, where they haven't won since 1991 - and perhaps a few more months. September is a long way away.

The Lions are practicing indoors today, with the fans turned on and blowing cold air inward to simulate the arctic conditions ahead this weekend. Calvin Johnson, Ernie Sims, Travis Fisher, Dewayne White and Chuck Darby were among those who did not take part in individual workouts.
