In honor of the Detroit Lions FINALLY snapping their epic 644 day losing streak (thanks Mitch for calculating that), here's the NFL Network's highlight reel. The game featured a goal line stand, a Matthew Stafford run and while it wasn't always pretty, it's nice to have something in the "W" column.
