Duckett Leads Lions Past Chiefs

The Associated Press

Published: December 24, 2007

DETROIT - It was an ugly game, perhaps fittingly for two teams that combined for a 13-game losing streak.

The Detroit Lions, though, are not in the position to get picky.

T.J. Duckett ran for a season-high 102 yards and a touchdown, helping Detroit hold on for a 25-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and snap a six-game losing streak.

Detroit had a 19-point lead in the first half, but the victory wasn't sealed until Chiefs receiver Samie Parker went down on his own at the Lions 30 after getting a lateral with no time left.

"A win like this, you've got to take it," Lions center Dominic Raiola said.

The Lions (7-8) surpassed the most victories they've had in seven seasons under team president Matt Millen.
