- Mikel Leshoure has 8 rushing touchdowns this season. As a team, the Lions have 16 rushing touchdowns, which is their most since 1997, according to Chris McCosky.
- A big reason why the Lions have lost so many games this season has to do with the offense and special teams allowing touchdowns.
Lions have now allowed 9 non-offensive TDs this year: 4 on special teams, 3 INT, 2 FR
