SERIES NOTES<br />
‣ ¾In the teams’ first matchup at Ford<br />
Field on September 19, 2004, WR<br />
Eddie Drummond returned a kickoff<br />
99 yards for a touchdown, his<br />
longest career return and his first<br />
career kickoff return touchdown.<br />
Drummond’s kickoff return was<br />
the eighth-longest in team history<br />
and the longest since CB Terry Fair<br />
returned a kickoff 105 yards vs.<br />
Tampa Bay on September 28, 1998.<br />
‣ ¾In the Lions first trip to Houston’s<br />
Reliant Stadium on November<br />
19, 2008, WR Calvin Johnson<br />
caught two passes for 154 yards,<br />
including a career-long of 96 yards.<br />
With 154 yards on two receptions<br />
against the Texans, Johnson’s<br />
receiving yards were the thirdmost<br />
for a player with two-orfewer<br />
receptions in a single game<br />
in NFL history.<br />
‣ ¾In that same game, K Jason<br />
Hanson hit two field goals of<br />
54-yards at Houston which were<br />
his 36th and 37th career field goals<br />
of 50+-yards. It was the third time<br />
in Hanson’s career he hit two-ormore<br />
field goals of 50+-yards in<br />
a game.<br />
‣ ¾In the Lions’ 73rd-annual<br />
Thanksgiving Day Classic on<br />
November 22, 2012, Detroit fell<br />
to the Texans 31-34 in a gripping<br />
overtime battle. QB Matthew<br />
Stafford threw for a season-high<br />
441 yards and two touchdowns,<br />
while WRs Ryan Broyles and Calvin<br />
Johnson both racked up over 100<br />
yards receiving with performances<br />
of 126 and 140 yards, respectively.<br />
