LLIIOONNSS OOPPEENN RREEGGUULLAARR SSEEAASSOONN IINN SSHHOOWWDDOOWWNN AATT MMIIAAMMII The Detroit Lions will open the 2002 regular season when they travel to Miami to battle the Dolphins on Sunday, September 8 at Pro Player Stadium (capacity 75,000). Detroit finished off the preseason with a 20-13 victory over the Buffalo Bills last week, giving them a 1-3 record for the 2002 preseason. The Dolphins capped off preseason play with a 24-22 victory over the Chicago Bears, giving them a 2-2 record for the 2002 preseason. Detroit’s game with Miami marks the eighth regular season contest versus the Dolphins, with the Dolphins holding a 5-2 advantage. This week’s game will be televised on FOX, with Dan Miller handling play-by-play and Mark Carrier adding color commentary.

CCOOAACCHHEESS MMAARRTTYY MMOORRNNHHIINNWWEEGG Marty Mornhinweg was named the Detroit Lions' head coach January 25, 2001. In his first season as the Lions’ head coach, Mornhinweg implemented an offensive system that was greatly improved. In 2000, the team’s passing attack ranked 25th in the league (167.2 yds/gm), and under Mornhinweg’s leadership, the Lions catapulted to a sixth place overall ranking last season by netting 224.8 yards per game. In gross passing, Detroit’s 3,969 yards were the third-highest tally in the league, behind only St. Louis and Indianapolis. Last year’s team passing tallies charted amongst the highest single-season marks in team history. The Lions set a new team record in passing attempts (609), recorded the third-most passing completions (343), and garnered the fourth-best team passing yards total (3,596). At Arizona (November, 18, 2001) the team set all new franchise single-game passing records with 36 completions, 63 attempts and 429 yards. Mornhinweg previously served as the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers for four seasons (1998-2001) prior to his first season in Detroit. His offensive outputs during those four seasons included tremendous gains in both the running and the passing game. During his tenure with the 49ers, the team led the NFL in rushing in consecutive seasons (1998-99), grounding out 2,085 yards (130.0 avg./gm) in ‘99 and a team-record 2,544 yards (159.0 avg./gm) in ‘98. During the 1998 season, San Francisco led the league in rushing, gross passing yards, total offense and first downs, as they accumulated the second-highest all-time offensive output in league history. The unit became the first offense to lead the league in both gross passing and rushing yards since the Chicago Bears accomplished that feat in 1941. Prior to joining the 49ers coaching staff, he spent two seasons with the Green Bay Packers from 1995-96. He was the Packers’ offensive assistant/quality control coach in 1995, and was quarterbacks coach in 1996 as the team went on to win Super Bowl XXXI. Before joining the pro ranks, Mornhinweg served as the offensive coordinator for Northern Arizona (1994). He spent three seasons with the University of Missouri from 1991-93 (offensive line 1992-93, slots/tight ends 1991). He was the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for Southeast Missouri State (1989-90), running backs coach for Northern Arizona (1988), a graduate assistant at Texas-El Paso (1986-87) and receivers coach at Montana (1985). He began his coaching career at Oak Grove High School (San Jose, Calif.) in 1984. Mornhinweg was a standout quarterback in college while directing the offense at Montana, as he established 15 passing records at the school. He prepped at Oak Grove H.S. and played for Mike Holmgren, who was the school’s offensive coordinator.

DDAAVVEE WWAANNNNSSTTEEDDTT Dave Wannstedt was named the fourth head coach in Miami Dolphins’ history on January 16, 2000. Prior to that appointment, he served under Jimmy Johnson as the team’s assistant head coach in 1999 and as the Chicago Bears’ head coach from 1993-98 (record of 41-57). Wannstedt came to Chicago after four seasons as defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys (1989-92). His time in Dallas culminated in the Cowboys' 52-17 win over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bow XXVII. Besides the Cowboys' Super Bowl title, Wannstedt was also an assistant on two NCAA national championship squads -- at Pittsburgh in 1976, and with Miami (Fla.) in 1987. His tenure on Johnson's staff at Miami lasted three years (1986-88) and was preceded by three other coaching stops in the collegiate ranks -- a three-year stint at USC from 1983-85 (defensive line), four years at Oklahoma State (1979-82) and four seasons at his alma mater, Pittsburgh, from 1975-78. A tackle at Pitt from 1970-73, Wannstedt was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1974, but he spent the entire '74 campaign on Injured Reserve, paving the way for his coaching career to begin on Johnny Majors' staff at Pitt.

LLIIOONNSS--DDOOLLPPHHIINNSS SSEERRIIEESS This week's game marks only the eighth meeting between Detroit and Miami. The game will mark only the fourth time Detroit has traveled south to Miami and the first time they have played in Pro Player Stadium during the regular season since it changed its name from Joe Robbie Stadium in 1996. The Dolphins hold a 5-2 lead in the series, with the first matchup resulting in a 34-7 Dolphins’ victory in the Orange Bowl, Dec. 15, 1973. The Dolphins also won in their first visit to the Silverdome, a 28-10 decision on Dec. 9, 1979. The first three Dolphins' triumphs over the Lions clinched AFC Eastern Division titles (in 1973, 1979 and 1994) for Miami. Detroit won two games in a row from 1985 and ‘91, but Miami has claimed the last three games, including the most recent outing, a 23-8 decision at the Silverdome in 2000. Both of Detroit’s wins in the series came at the Silverdome -- a 31-21 win on Oct. 27, 1985 and a 17-13 victory on Sept. 15, 1991.

LLAASSTT GGAAMMEE REGULAR SEASON - NOVEMBER 5, 2000 DETROIT 8, MIAMI 23; PONTIAC SILVERDOME Miami jumped on the Lions from the opening kickoff and parlayed the quick start into a 23-8 win over Detroit at a sold-out Silverdome. The Dolphins’ Brock Marion returned the opening kickoff 56 yards to the Lions’ 46-yard line and Lamar Smith rumbled 46 yards for a score on the first play from scrimmage to begin a first quarter Miami barrage. The Dolphins recovered an onside kick on the next play, with Smith scoring from eight yards out moments later for a quick 14-0 Miami advantage without the Lions having run a single offensive play. Olindo Mare’s first of three field goals early in the second quarter gave Miami a 17-0 halftime advantage. He added a 38-yard effort early in the third quarter four plays after Terry Fair fumbled the opening kickoff deep in Lions’ territory. Mare’s third field goal (41 yards) late in the third quarter ended the Dolphins’ scoring onslaught and gave them a 23-0 lead entering the fourth quarter. Detroit got its only points on the day on a three-yard James Stewart plunge to begin the fourth quarter. Stoney Case’s two-point pass to Johnnie Morton was good to account for the 23-8 final score. Case entered the contest late in the third quarter after starter Charlie Batch left the game with a mild concussion.

SERIES NOTES • The first two head coaches (four overall) in Dolphins' history both had ties to Detroit. George Wilson coached the

Dolphins from 1966-69. He was an assistant with the Lions from 1949-56 and was the Lions’ head coach from 1957-64. Wilson was at the helm when the Lions won their last championship in 1957. Don Shula was the Dolphins’ head coach from 1970-95, and was an assistant under Wilson with the Lions from 1960-62.

• The first three of Miami’s triumphs over the Lions clinched AFC Eastern Division titles for the Dolphins (in 1973, ‘79 and ‘94).

• Detroit’s win over Miami in 1985 was a historic one for the Lions. The win marked the first time in NFL history that a club had beaten the Super Bowl participants from the previous year in back-to-back weeks (the Lions had edged the Super Bowl XIX champion San Francisco 49ers 23-21 only seven days earlier).

•• The Lions' only two trips to Miami's Pro Player Stadium (1994 and 1997) were both nationally televised night games, with the Dolphins winning both outings.

On playing against the Dolphins defense: "They have been one of the most outstanding defensive units over the past few years. In fact, they were the top ranked defense last season, so it's going to give our offense a great look.

Ø The Detroit Lions roster has gone through some major turnover since

the end of last season. Nearly 35 percent (18-of-53) of the Lions' current roster is occupied by players that were not a part of the 2001 roster. Also, of the projected starters on offense and defense, six (nearly 30 percent) are new to the squad.

Ø A top priority for the Lions during the 2002 off-season was to address the secondary, and the first acquisition made in free agency was the signing of Dolphins S Brian Walker. Over the past two seasons, the Dolphins’ pass defense ranked first (2001) and fifth (2000) overall in the NFL, and led the team to back-to-back playoff appearances. Walker was a key cog during that span starting 29 of 32 regular season contests. In addition, the Lions signed S Corey Harris, an 11-year NFL veteran. Harris also came from a strong defensive background, playing on a squad in Baltimore that ranked second overall in the NFL in 2001, 2000 and 1999, and catapulted the Ravens to claim Super Bowl XXXV. These transactions were necessary because of injuries to 2001 Lions’ starting safeties Ron Rice and Kurt Schultz. With the loss of CB Bryant Westbrook to free agency and the retirement of 11-year veteran CB Robert Bailey, the team signed 13-year veteran CB Eric Davis. Davis started at cornerback for the San Francisco 49ers during their run towards the Super Bowl XXIX title.

Ø Three key members of the 2001 Lions defensive front seven retired from the NFL after the 2001 season, including LB Stephen Boyd, LB Allen Aldridge and DE Tracy Scroggins. Boyd and Scroggins currently rank third and ninth, respectively, in the team record annals for career tackles. Scroggins also is the team’s fifth-ranked all-time sack leader with 60.5 career sacks.

Ø The Lions priority on the offensive side of the ball was to shore up the wide receiver position. The signings of WR Az-Zahir Hakim and WR Bill Schroeder addressed the team’s need for speed and big-play capabilities. Hakim was a vital component in the high-octane St. Louis offense, which was the league’s number-one ranked offense in each of the past three NFL seasons. Hakim played in two Super Bowls with the Rams, winning Super Bowl XXXIV and leading all receivers with 90-yards receiving in Super Bowl XXXV. Schroeder, a seven-year veteran, joined the Lions after playing with perennial all-pro Packers QB Brett Favre in the West Coast Offense. Schroeder finished the 2001 season with team-highs of nine touchdowns and 918 yards receiving and was second on the team with 53 receptions.

Ø With the return of RB James Stewart, who missed the previous four games due to injury, the Lions rushed for a season high 167 yards on 25 attempts (6.7 avg.) vs. Green Bay Nov. 22. In the previous four games, the Lions rushed for a total of 224 yards (56.0 yds/gm) as Stewart was sidelined.

Ø The Lions’ offense set several team records and collected some of the franchise’s highest totals in other team offensive categories at Arizona on November 18, 2001. The Lions’ 62 pass attempts set the team’s single-game record by surpassing the previous high of 57 attempts accomplished vs. Chicago 10/9/88. The team’s 36 completions are better than the 33

completions tossed at Cleveland 9/28/86 and vs. Green Bay 10/25/87. The Lions’ established a new record for net passing yards by airing out 429 yards, which is better than the previous high of 395 vs. Minnesota 11/23/95. And the 22 first downs gained on pass plays set a new record, passing the old team mark of 20 established vs. Minnesota 11/23/95.

Ø Also at Arizona Nov. 18, the Lions garnered the fourth-highest tally of offensive plays in a single game when the team ran 85 plays (63 passing and 22 rushing). The 30 total first downs (22 passing, four rushing and four penalty) is tied for the second-highest single-game total in Lions’ history. The Lions gained 30 first downs (17 rushing, 11 passing and two penalty) vs. Washington 9/30/51.

Ø Detroit’s offense geared up over a three-week span (vs. St. Louis Oct. 8, at Minnesota Oct. 14 and vs. Tennessee Oct. 21) when the Lions totaled 1,154 yards of offense in those games (879 passing yards and 275 rushing yards), for an average of 384.7 yards per game. The offense had not tallied that many yards in three-straight games since gaining 1,310 yards in games vs. Chicago 11/27/97, at Miami 12/7/97 and at Minnesota 12/14/97.

Ø Over a two game-stretch (at Minnesota Oct. 14 and vs. Tennessee Oct. 21), the Lions’ offense registered 820 yards of offense (650 yards passing and 170 yards rushing), which is the highest total since gaining 920 yards in consecutive games-- vs. Chicago 11/27/97 (496 yards) and at Miami 12/7/97 (424 yards).

Ø Detroit tallied a then-season-best 457 yards of total offense (129 rushing/345 yards passing) at Minnesota Oct. 14. The Lions’ total was the most yards gained by an offensive unit since chewing up 496 yards (222 rushing/274 passing) vs. Chicago Nov. 27, 1997.

Ø Over a two game span—at Minnesota Oct. 14 and vs. St. Louis Oct. 8, Lions’ passers completed 76.0% of their passes (57-of-75). Against St. Louis Oct. 8, the Lions completed 26-of-34 passes (76.5%), and at Minnesota Oct. 14, they completed 31-of-41 (75.6%) passes.

Ø Against St. Louis, Detroit completed 26-of-34 passes for a 76.5 completion percentage. That marked the highest percentage of passes completed by the Lions’ offense since QB Charlie Batch was 16-of-19 (84.2%) vs. Chicago Oct. 4, 1998. QB Ty Detmer completed 15-of-18 passes (83.3%) and Batch was 11-of-16 (68.8%).

Ø Last season, the Lions receivers collected five 100-yard receiving efforts after netting just one in 2000. WR Germane Crowell caught a career-high nine passes for 125 yards at Minnesota Oct. 14, and WR Johnnie Morton gained 153 yards at Arizona Nov. 18, 113 yards vs. Tennessee Oct. 21, 111 yards at Green Bay Sept. 9 and 100 yards at Cleveland Sept. 23. The Lions' only 100-yard receiving outing during the 2000 season was a 106-yard performance by WR Larry Foster at Minnesota Nov. 30, 2000.

GGEETTTTIINNGG DDEEFFEENNSSIIVVEE With the addition of Kurt Schottenheimer as the team's nneeww defensive coordinator in 2002, the Lions defense will take on a new look. If the preseason is any sign of how the team will do during the regular season, good things will come. Also, with the new additions to the Lions secondary, improvements should be evident early. Ø LB Chris Claiborne led the Lions in tackles with a career single-season high 163

stops (93 solo), and started as the team’s middle linebacker for the final 12 games of the season (LB Stephen Boyd on Injured Reserve due to a back injury). Claiborne’s 163 tackles were the fifth-best Lions’ seasonal tally since 1973.

Ø Claiborne recorded two interceptions last season (career season high), including a pick vs. Minnesota Dec. 16 in the Lions’ first win of the season.

Ø In his first career start at middle linebacker, Claiborne intercepted his second-career pass and returned it six yards, and he registered a career single-game high 15 tackles (six solo). Claiborne had started 35 previous games at outside linebacker since becoming the Lions’ first-round draft choice (ninth overall) in the 1999 NFL Draft. Claiborne was the 1998 Butkus Award winner (USC’s first-ever) while playing middle linebacker in college.

Ø In the Lions’ first win of the season (vs. Minnesota Dec. 16), CB Todd Lyght intercepted QB Todd Bouman and returned the pass 59 yards for a touchdown to give the Lions an early 7-0 lead. The interception marked the 35th of his 11-year career and the team-leading fourth of the season. It also marked the fifth touchdown of his career. At Minnesota on Oct. 14, he recorded his first interception as a Lion. He picked off his second pass of the season (33rd of career) at San Francisco Nov. 4. His third interception was at Arizona Nov. 18 (34th of career).

Ø DE James Hall returned his first career fumble for a touchdown vs. Green Bay Nov. 22. Hall picked up a fumble forced by LB Chris Claiborne and returned it eight yards for the Lions’ first touchdown of the game. Claiborne recorded his fourth sack of the season as he dropped QB Brett Favre for a 10-yard loss and caused the fumble on the play.

Ø Hall had a career day rushing the quarterback at Tampa Bay Dec. 9 by recording a career-high 3.5 sacks (24.5 yards loss). The 3.5 sacks is a team high this season and is the most by a Lions’ pass rusher in a single game since DE Robert Porcher recorded 3.5 quarterback takedowns vs. Indianapolis 11/23/97.

Ø LB Barrett Green collected his first career sack (a 10-yard drop) vs. Tennessee Oct. 21 and he made a career-high 11 tackles (seven solo) in his first career start. He was inserted in the starting lineup at outside linebacker as LB Chris Claiborne shifted to the middle spot. Green improved his single-game best for tackles with 15 at San Francisco Nov. 4, and garnered double-digit tackle tallies six games. He finished second on the team with 115 stops (58 solo).

IINNDDIIVVIIDDUUAALL BBRREEAAKKDDOOWWNNSS “LITTLE MAN” STEWART MAKING BIG IMPRESSION RB James Stewart proved once again to be the workhorse running weapon that the Lions envisioned when they signed him as an unrestricted free agent from Jacksonville Feb. 14, 2000. In 2001, Stewart rushed for 685 yards on 143 carries (4.8 avg.) and one touchdown, and had 23 receptions for 242 yards (10.5 avg.) and one touchdown reception. An injury to his right ankle slowed him down in the latter part of the 2001 campaign, as he missed five of the season’s last 11 games. Ø Stewart was mightily productive when he touched the ball this season. He recorded 166 touches (143 rushes and 23

receptions) for a combined tally of 927 total yards, averaging 5.6 yards per touch. Ø Of the 11 games Stewart played in 2001, he has averaged over 5.0 rushing yards per game in five of those contests. He

rushed 13 times for 88 yards (6.8 avg.) vs. St. Louis Oct. 8, 16 times for 108 yards (6.8 avg.) at Minnesota Oct. 14, 14 times for 102 yards (7.3 avg.) vs. Green Bay Nov. 22, 15 times for 78 yards (5.2 avg.) at Tampa Bay Dec. 9 and 13 times for 69 yards (5.3 avg.) in the Lions’ season finale win over Dallas Jan. 6.

Ø At Chicago Dec. 2, Stewart scored his only rushing touchdown of the season, a three-yard run, and caught a career-long 53-yard pass on the Lions’ 95-yard touchdown scoring drive in the first quarter. The 95-yard drive (10 plays, 5:55) marked the longest scoring drive (yardage) of the season for the Lions.

Ø After missing four-straight games due to an ankle injury, Stewart rushed for his 11th career 100-yard game (fifth as Lions and second of 2001) vs. Green Bay Nov. 22. He recorded 102 yards on 14 carries (7.3 avg.) and had a season-long run of 38 yards. He was a major part of the Lions’ rushing attack that gained 167 yards, after averaging 53 yards in the previous five-game span.

Ø Stewart rushed for a season-high 108 yards at Minnesota Oct. 14 on 16 carries (6.8 avg.). His 100-yard rushing effort was the 10th of his career and the fourth since joining the Lions prior to 2000 season. He also caught three passes for 22 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown that sparked the Lions’ offense in the second half.

Ø Oct. 8 vs. St. Louis, Stewart had 13 carries for 88 yards (6.8 avg.), including a then season-long run of 30 yards. He also caught four passes for 36 yards.

Ø The Lions are 7-1 (.875) in games that Stewart records more-than-20 rushing attempts, and are 9-3 (.750) when Stewart rushes 20-or-more times in a contest, including the Lions’ win vs. Minnesota Dec. 16 when he carried the ball 20 times for 91 yards.

Ø Stewart is in the NFL record books as one of five players in league history to rush for five touchdowns in a game (vs. Philadelphia 10/12/97).

GETTING A KICK OUT OF HANSON In two-time Pro Bowler Jason Hanson, the Lions are blessed with one of the NFL's top all-around kickers. He is deadly accurate inside the 50-yard line, and he continues to move closer to the Lions’ all-time kicking records set by Eddie Murray during his 12 years with Detroit. Hanson now needs only six field goals to become the all-time leader in franchise history and is only 69 points shy of becoming the franchise's all-time scoring leader. Ø Hanson’s streak of six-straight 50-yard field goals made was halted when he missed two 51-yard attempts in the season

finale vs. Dallas Jan 6. He did, however, tie a career single-season high by making four 50-yard field goals in 2001 (also accomplished feat in 1999).

Ø After struggling at Chicago Dec. 2 (rare three field goals missed), Hanson rebounded immediately at Tampa Bay Dec. 9, 2001 by placing the Lions in a position to capture their first victory of the season by making four-of-four field goals and accumulating all 12 of the Lions points. It was the 12th time in his career he has made at least four field goals in a game.

Ø Hanson also made his 21st career field goal from 50-yards or more at Tampa Bay Dec. 9, 2001 when he connected on a 50-yarder. In doing so, he became the sixth player in NFL history to accomplish that feat.

Ø By connecting on a 54-yarder vs. Green Bay Nov. 22, Hanson became the eighth player in NFL history to record at least 20 career 50-yard field goals. The 54-yarder tied (accomplished four other times) for the third longest field goal made in Lions’ history. He also nailed a 33-yarder vs. the Packers, as he finished the day two-for-two on field goal attempts.

Ø On the first extra point Hanson kicked at Arizona Nov. 18, he became the second player in Lions' history to score 1,000 career points. The first player in Lions’ history to reach that mark was Eddie Murray, who scored 1,113 points during his 12-year career (1980-91) in Detroit.

Ø Hanson was two-for-two on field goal attempts vs. Cincinnati Oct. 28, including a 51-yarder. His 51-yard effort was the 19th field goal made beyond 50 yards in his career.

Ø Hanson had his consecutive field goal streak stopped at 13 when he failed to connect on a 65-yard field goal attempt at Minnesota Oct. 14. He entered the game hitting 11-straight field goals, then proceeded to make a 19-yarder and a 51-yarder (18th of his career) before his missed attempt.

Ø Hanson was two-for-two on field goal attempts in the Lions’ 2001 season opener at Green Bay, which extended his consecutive field goals made to 11. He did not attempt a field goal in the Lions' second game at Cleveland or in the team's third game vs. St. Louis.

Ø Hanson has made the last 25 field goals he has attempted vs. the Green Bay Packers in regular season action. He attempted and made two field goals in both of the Lions’ contests this season against Green Bay (at Lambeau Field Sept. 9 and at the Silverdome Nov. 22). The last field goal attempt he missed vs. Green Bay occurred Nov. 6, 1994 at Milwaukee. Hanson is a perfect 9-for-9 on field goal attempts at Lambeau Field during regular season play (1-for-2 in postseason).

Ø Hanson ranks in second-place on all five of the Lions’ major career scoring and kicking records. His career totals of 239 field goals, 301 field goal attempts, 1,044 points scored, 327 extra points and 332 extra points attempted all trail Eddie Murray’s career totals. To eclipse Murray’s records, Hanson needs to connect on six and attempt 25 field goals, score 70 points and make 55 extra points apiece. Murray’s career totals include 244 field goals in 325 attempts, 1,113 points scored and 381 extra points in 386 attempts.

Ø His seven points in the 2000 season finale vs. Chicago put him over the 100-point plateau for the sixth time in his first nine NFL seasons (101 points), and fourth year in a row. Among his 100-point seasons, he holds the top two spots on the team's all-time seasonal scoring list -- a team-record 132 points in 1995 and 130 points in '93.

Ø Detroit is 43-27 (.614) during Hanson's career when he kicks two-or-more field goals in a game. Also, the club is 23-8 (.742) when Hanson kicks three-or-more field goals, and is 11-1 (9.7) when he makes at least four field goals in a contest.

DESMOND’S HAPPY RETURNS KR Desmond Howard has been incredibly thrilling since joining the Lions, as illustrated by him being named to his first career Pro Bowl in 2000 and as an alternate in 2001. He registered 57 kickoff returns for 1,446 yards (25.4 avg.) and 22 punt returns for 201 yards (9.1 avg.) in 2001. Howard also totaled 10 receptions for 113 yards and one touchdown. Ø Among the top returners in the league, Howard ranked second in kickoff returns in the NFC and was fourth in the NFL

with a 25.4 yards per return average in 2001. Ø In the Lions’ season finale win vs. Dallas Jan 6., Howard returned two punts for 23 yards, which moved him past Hall of

Famer Yale Lary (758 yards, 1952-53, ’56-64) for seventh place on the Lions’ all-time punt return yards list. With 773 punt return yards, Howard is behind Tommy Watkins (928 yards, 1962-67) for sixth place on that list.

Ø Howard recorded four kickoff returns (102 yards) vs. Chicago Dec. 30, and moved past Alvin Hall (128, 1981-85, ’87) for second place on the Lions’ all-time career kickoff returns list. Now with 132 career kickoff returns, Howard is behind Mel Gray’s career record tally of 216 kickoff returns registered from 1989-94.

Ø By recording eight kickoff returns for 182 yards (22 .8 avg.) at Pittsburgh Dec. 23, Howard moved up on both the Lions’ career kickoff returns and kickoff return yards lists. His eight kickoff returns moved him into third place past Glyn Milburn (119 returns, 1996-97) on the Lions’ all-time career kickoff returns list. Howard (now with 3,219 kickoff return yards since joining the Lions in 1999) also moved past Glyn Milburn (2,942 yards, 1996-97) for second place on the franchise’s all-time career kickoff return yards list.

Ø Howard’s eight kickoff returns at Pittsburgh Dec. 23 also tied a Lions’ single-game record for most kickoff returns. Mel Gray also recorded eight kickoff returns vs. Dallas 11/8/92.

Ø Howard fielded four kickoff returns for 63 yards vs. Minnesota Dec. 16, which put him over the 7,000-yard mark in career kickoff return yards. Howard now has 7,372 kickoff return yards in his nine-year NFL career.

Ø At Tampa Bay Dec. 2, Howard moved past Alvin Hall (2,819 yards, 1981-85, ’87) for third place on the Lions’ all-time career kickoff return yards list.

Ø Howard moved up two notches on the Lions’ all-time career punt return yards list vs. Tampa Bay Nov. 11 when he gained 37 yards on four punt returns. He jumped into eighth place on that list (currently with 750 punt return yards), moving past Pat Studstill (716 yards, 1961-67) and Glyn Milburn (717 yards, 1996-97).

Ø His four punt returns vs. Tampa Bay Nov. 11 moved his career punt returns to 50, which qualifies him on the Lions’ all-time career punt return average list. With a 13.10 average (57 returns for 773 yards), Howard has the highest career punt return average in team history. Second on that list is Jack Christensen with a 12.75 punt return average (85 returns for 1,084 yards from 1951-58).

Ø Howard exploded over a two-week span last season (vs. Tennessee Oct. 21 and vs. Cincinnati Oct. 28) as a kickoff returner by returning seven kickoffs for 335 yards. He averaged 47.9 yards over the two contests, and had returns of 91, 65, 59 and 47 yards. Following this outburst, teams kicked away from Howard to minimize his ability to break games open as a returner.

Ø Oct. 28 vs. Cincinnati, Howard sparked the Lions’ comeback from a 21-6 deficit when he electrified the crowd with a 91-yard kickoff return near the end of the first half that led to the Lions’ first touchdown. His 91-yarder was his career-long in a regular season game. He is still looking for his first regular season kickoff return for a touchdown. His longest kickoff return was a 99-yard score in Super Bowl XXXI that led him to MVP honors in that championship affair.

Ø Howard’s 229 kickoff return yards (five returns, 45.8 avg.) vs. Cincinnati Oct. 28 set a new single-game career high. His previous career-best was 223 yards (10 returns, 22.3 avg.) at Seattle (10/26/97). He had returns of 30, 26, 91, 65 and 17 yards.

Ø His 229-yard tally vs. the Bengals is also the second-highest single-game total in Lions’ franchise history. Howard owns two of the top four single-game kickoff return yard totals in Lions’ history. He also collected 218 kickoff return yards last season vs. Tampa Bay (9/17/00), which is fourth-best.

Ø Also vs. Cincinnati, Howard returned his 100th kickoff return since joining the Lions. Ø Howard had an exceptional day in key areas vs. Tennessee Oct. 21. His only catch of the game was a 36-yard touchdown

reception with 1:18 left to play that tied the game on fourth-and-10. Coincidentally, his touchdown reception was his first receiving touchdown since recording a 15-yarder at Houston (10/1/95) while with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Howard ripped off his two longest kickoff returns for the season, up to that point, against the Titans by returning two first-half kickoffs for 47 and 59 yards.

PAGE 14 OF 24

Ø With 105 yards on two kickoff returns vs. Tennessee, Howard moved past Terry Fair (2,180 yards, 1998-) and Tommy Watkins (2,262 yards, 1962-67) for fourth place on the Lions’ all-time career kickoff return yards list.

Ø Oct. 8 vs. St. Louis, Howard surpassed the 2,000-yard mark in kickoff return yardage since joining the Lions. He surpassed Pat Studstill (1,924 yards) for sixth-place on the Lions’ all-time kickoff return yards list at Cleveland Sept. 23.

Ø With five kickoff returns at Minnesota Oct. 14, he moved past Tommy Watkins (91 returns, 1962-67) for fourth place on the Lions’ all-time career kickoff returns chart.

Ø Howard also ranks second in NFL history (along with five others) for having recorded three punt returns for touchdowns in a single season, while with Green Bay in 1996. Christiansen (1951) and Upchurch (1976) hold that all-time NFL record with four returns for scores.

PORCHER’S PRESSURES DE Robert Porcher is the Lions’ leader in career quarterback sacks by registering 85.5, having surpassed Al “Bubba” Baker’s previous record of 75.5 career QB takedowns early in the 2001 season. On Jan. 2, 2002, Porcher was named to his third Pro Bowl in the past five seasons, after having a solid year with 11.0 sacks and four multi-sack games. Ø In the Lions’ first win of the season vs. Minnesota Dec. 16, Porcher recorded two sacks, which was his 21st career multi-

sack game and fourth of the 2001 season. Ø At San Francisco Nov. 4, Porcher collected his 20th career multi-sack game, by recording two sacks (14 yards loss), and he

also caused a fumble. On his first sack, he surpassed the 80-sack mark for his career, becoming the first player in Lions’ history to reach that mark.

Ø Porcher collected his 19th career multi-sack outing with a two-sack performance at Minnesota Oct. 14.

PAGE 15 OF 24

Ø Porcher became the Lions’ leader in career quarterback sacks on his first of two sacks against Cleveland Sept. 23. He broke Al “Bubba” Baker’s mark of 75.5 that he recorded from 1978-82.

Ø Porcher recorded his 18th career multi-sack effort at Cleveland Sept. 23 with a two-sack effort. Ø Porcher’s 68 sacks since 1996 are the second most quarterback takedowns recorded by any NFL player in that span. New

York Giants’ DE Michael Strahan has garnered 71.5 sacks since ‘96. Ø Porcher also ranks eighth on the Lions’ career tackles list (since 1973) with 587 career stops. He is behind Jimmy

DON’T MESS WITH ROGERS Rookie DT Shaun Rogers made his presence known along the defensive front after being drafted by the Lions in the 2001 NFL Draft out of the University of Texas. The Lions traded up into the second round to make him the 61st player taken in the league’s annual selection meeting. Rogers led all defensive lineman in the NFL with 97 total tackles. Ø Rogers finished his rookie campaign ranking third on the team with 97 tackles (determined by coaches film review), and

had 62 solo stops. He illustrated the ability to make tackles despite double teams and contributed on defense in both rushing and passing situations. He started and played in all 16 games for the Lions during his first season in the NFL.

Ø According to coaches’ film review, Rogers garnered 13 tackles for losses in 2001. Ø Rogers 97 tackles are the most by a Lions’ defensive lineman since Michael Cofer garnered 107 defensive stops in 1984. Ø According to press box statistics, Rogers accumulated 81 tackles (60 solo), which was the highest output among all

defensive linemen in the NFL last season. Ø Rogers swarmed up 10 tackles (seven solo) in the Lions’ win vs. Dallas Jan. 6 in the 2001 season’s final game. His 10-

tackle performance was his third double-digit tackle outing of his rookie season. One of his 10 tackles occurred behind the line of scrimmage and he knocked down one pass in the game.

Ø Rogers upped his 2001 sacks tally to 3.0 by accumulating a half-of-a-sack at Tampa Bay Dec. 9. Ø After coaches film review, Rogers was credited with 10 tackles vs. Green Bay Nov. 22 (second 10-tackle performance of

season), and registered a season-high three tackles for losses. Ø Nov. 11 vs. Tampa Bay, Rogers added to his sacks tally on the season with one quarterback takedown (five-yard loss)

against the Buccaneers. Ø He placed his stamp on the Lions’ attempt at their first win of the season when he blocked two field goal attempts at San

Francisco Nov. 4. His second FG block was on a 19-yard attempt with 1:56 left in the fourth quarter that gave the Lions a chance to tie the game with one final drive. Rogers also blocked a 49-yard attempt in the second quarter of the game. His blocked field goal marked the first FG block since James Jones batted an attempt away at New Orleans Sept. 3, 2000.

Ø Rogers recorded his first double-digit tackle outing of his career when he collected 11 tackles vs. Tennessee Oct. 21. Ø Rogers collected his first career sack and first career multi-sack outing (1.5 for nine yards loss) at Minnesota Oct. 14. Ø He batted down two passes for the first time in his career at Chicago Dec. 2, and recorded a total of six passes defensed on

the season. Ø Eight defensive tackles and six defensive ends (14 defensive linemen) were drafted in front of Rogers in the 2001 NFL

Draft. Among those drafted ahead of Rogers, he accumulated (based on press box statistics) more tackles than any other player in that group. In fact, Rogers had 27 more tackles than the next highest tally accumulated by Cleveland DT Gerard Warren (61 tackles). Warren was the top defensive lineman taken in the 2001 Draft with the third overall pick.

CORY SLEDGE HAMMER FB Cory Schlesinger blossomed in the Lions’ new West Coast offense and is arguably one of the league’s best all-around fullbacks. He is a key component of the Lions' running game as a bruising blocking back, and is an important part of the team’s passing attack. Last season, Schlesinger totaled career bests in nearly every offensive category. Ø Last season, Schlesinger was the Lions’ second-leading receiver with 60 receptions for 466 yards (both career highs). He

gained 154 yards on 47 carries and has three rushing touchdowns (also career highs). Ø By recording 60 catches for 466 receiving yards last season, Schlesinger eclipsed his receiving totals of 41 receptions for

308 yards over the previous six seasons combined. Ø Schlesinger tied for ninth among all NFL running backs last season with 60 receptions. He had the highest tally of any

fullback in the NFC, and was second only to Larry Centers for the most receptions by a fullback in the entire NFL. Ø Schlesinger caught 11 receptions for 67 yards (both career single-game highs) vs. Chicago Dec. 30. By registering 11

catches in a single game, he became the fifth running back/fullback to collect at least 11 receptions during a single game in Lions’ history. Other 11-receptions games by Lions’ backs include: 12 by James Jones at Cleveland (9/28/86) and 11 by Mel Farr vs. Minnesota (10/7/73), Billy Sims vs. San Francisco (11/2/80) and Lamont Warren at Arizona (11/18/01).

Ø Over a two-week span (at Chicago Dec. 2 and vs. Green Bay Nov. 22), Schlesinger led the team in receptions with six grabs. At Chicago Dec. 2, he recorded six receptions for 40 yards. Nov. 22 vs. Green Bay, Schlesinger had a team-high six receptions. Against the Packers, he gained 41 receiving yards, added five rushes for 39 yards and ran for a season-long run of 26 yards off a fake punt.

Ø At Arizona Nov. 18, and for the second-consecutive game, Schlesinger recorded a one-yard rushing touchdown as he dove over the top on the goal line. He also caught four passes for a then career single-game career high 60 yards, including a 38-yarder that helped set up the Lions’ second touchdown of the game.

Ø Schlesinger had one of the best games in his career vs. Tampa Bay Nov. 11 when he caught a then career-tying single-game high five passes for a then career single-game high 54 yards, and he added seven rushes for 13 yards and one touchdown. His five receptions and 54 yards moved his seasonal total to 26 catches for 191 yards, which set career single-season highs. He scored his first-career rushing touchdown on a one-yard plunge. That play was set up by his three-yard leap over the top on fourth-and-one at the four-yard line.

Ø At San Francisco Nov. 4, Schlesinger caught his 21st pass of the season, which tied a new career single-season high. His previous single-season career highs as a receiver were set in 1999 when he caught 21 passes for 151 yards and scored one touchdown.

Ø He caught passes in each of the team’s 16 games, which is his career-long in terms of consecutive games with a reception. On two other occasions, he caught passes over four game stretches, one streak occurring in 1999 and the other in 1997.

Ø Schlesinger also reprised his role as a significant contributor on special teams, especially on both of the Lions’ cover units (kickoff and punt teams). He was fifth on the team by collecting 15 special teams tackles, and served as one of the wedge-busters on the team’s kickoff unit.

RRIINNGGIINNGG EENNDDOORRSSEEMMEENNTTSS The Detroit Lions not only made numerous changes on the field this past off-season, but they also made significant changes off the field in order to strive for the ultimate goal, the Super Bowl. With key additions to the Lions secondary, wide receiving corps, and coaching staff, the Lions continue to add experience and leadership to the family. With the 2002 season on the rise, the Lions future looks to the knowledge and leadership that several players, coaches and front office staff members bring to the organization. The main component that the Lions' new off-season additions bring is the experience of winning a Super Bowl crown. Overall, seven coaches have won 16 rings, 11 front office members account for 15 rings and nine players total ten Super Bowl rings won. A total of 27 individuals account for 42 Super Bowl rings within the Lions organization. Ø Lions President and CEO Matt Millen is the only player to earn Super Bowl championship rings with three different

teams -Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders (Super Bowl XV and XVIII), San Francisco 49ers (Super Bowl XXIV) and Washington Redskins (Super Bowl XXVI). Overall, Millen earned four Super Bowl rings as a player.

Ø Lions Head Coach Marty Mornhinweg earned a championship ring with the Green Bay Packers when he was the team's Quarterbacks Coach on their way to a Super Bowl XXXI win.

Ø CB Eric Davis received his Super Bowl ring during the San Francisco 49ers championship run in the mid-1990's, as that team won Super Bowl XXIX.

Ø WR/KR Desmond Howard became the only special teams player in Super Bowl history to earn MVP honors when he catapulted the Green Bay Packers to a title in Super Bowl XXXI. Also, LB Brian Williams, WR Bill Schroeder and assistant equipment manager Tim O’Neill were part of that same Super Bowl championship team.

Ø S Corey Harris captured his first Super Bowl Ring with the Baltimore Ravens, as that team won Super Bowl XXXV. Harris was a mainstay at the safety position for the record setting Ravens defense during their championship run.

Ø CB Todd Lyght, WR Az Zahir- Hakim, and Lions Senior Vice President of Business Operations/General Counsel Kevin Warren were a part of the St. Louis Rams' run to the Super Bowl XXXIV title.

Ø P John Jett captured two Super Bowl rings with the Dallas Cowboys when he was the teams punter in Super Bowl XXVIII and XXX.

Ø G Ray Brown owns a Super Bowl ring from when he was a part of the Washington Redskins unit that beat the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI. Brown was on the Injured Reserve list the entire season, but did collect a ring nonetheless.

Ø Assistant Defensive Line Coach/Pass Rush Specialist Charles Haley holds the NFL record having won five Super Bowl rings as a player. He won back-to-back titles with San Francisco in Super Bowl XXIII and XXIV and with Dallas in Super Bowls XXVII, XXVIII and XXX.

Ø Bill Tobin was a member of the Chicago Bears organization when the Bears won Super Bowl XX. Tobin was the Director of Player Personnel (currently Lions Executive Director of Player Personnel). Also, Lions/BLESTO Personnel Scout Dennis Gentry was a player for that same Super Bowl championship team.

Ø Offensive Coordinator Maurice Carthon captured two championship rings during his playing days as a fullback for the New York Giants. Carthon and the Giants earned their rings in Super Bowl XXI and XXV.

Ø Larry Kirksey, the Lions wide receivers coach, was the San Francisco 49ers Receivers Coach when they won Super Bowl XXIV. His group of receivers set a Super Bowl record by catching six touchdowns in their win over San Diego.

Ø Special Assistant on Offense Sherman Lewis, is second on the coaching staff with four Super Bowl rings. Lewis won three of four rings with the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XIX, XXIII and XXIV. Lewis collected his fourth ring with the Green Bay Packers when that team won Super Bowl XXXI.

Ø Assistant Defensive Line Coach John Marshall has earned two championship rings, during his tenure with the San Francisco 49ers, when the team won Super Bowls XXIII and XXIX.

LLIIOONNSS NNEEWW DDIIGGSS FFOORRDD FFIIEELLDD On November 16, 1999, a new era in Detroit Lions history began when the team officially launched the construction of its new downtown Detroit stadium, Ford Field. This summer, the Lions and the city of Detroit will unveil one of the most impressive sports and entertainment venues ever built. The Lions’ new home is an incomparable 65,000-seat facility that includes a giant glass wall, revealing the picturesque Detroit skyline, and the old Hudson’s Warehouse, originally built in 1920. The massive project encompasses a total of 1.85 million square feet of development. The old Hudson’s Warehouse, a major cornerstone of Ford Field, houses most of the stadium luxury seats, pressbox, restaurants, food courts, lounge areas, banquet facilities, entertainment venues and commercial space. The inclusion of the

warehouse into the stadium project allows the sightlines at Ford Field to be among the very best in the NFL. In fact, even the locker room facilities have been built in the basement of the seven-story historic Detroit structure. Detroit plays its first home preseason game at Ford Field Saturday, August 24 when the Pittsburgh Steelers visit the Motor City. The Lions will celebrate the inaugural regular season game at Ford Field Sunday, September 22 when they play host to their long-time divisional rival, Green Bay Packers. The 2002 home opener marks the return of the Lions to downtown Detroit for the first time since 1974. The first major events scheduled for the new stadium is Impact at Ford Field, a fund-raising event for The Children’s Center, set for Thursday, September 5. Founded in 1929, The Children’s Center provides 28 interrelated programs to approximately 7,000 children and families in Detroit. Prior to opening this year, Ford Field captured the attentive eye of NFL owners. Ford Field was selected unanimously November 1, 2000 by NFL ownership to be the host site of Super Bowl XL to be played February 5, 2006. It will mark the first Super Bowl in the Detroit Metro area since the Pontiac Silverdome was the site for Super Bowl XVI, played January 24, 1982. Ford Field is a construction phenomenon on multiple fronts, and it will be the crowning jewel of new stadiums in the NFL and Detroit’s downtown entertainment district.
