SERIES NOTES<br />
‣ ¾Detroit’s 44-0 win over the Jaguars<br />
December 17, 1995 represents the<br />
largest victory margin in Lions’<br />
history and was the largest in<br />
the NFL in 1995. The game also<br />
marked the inaugural contest in<br />
the series between the Lions and<br />
the Jaguars.<br />
‣ ¾Lions KR Eddie Drummond had<br />
one of the finest performances<br />
by a returner in NFL history that<br />
ultimately forced the Lions’ game<br />
at Jacksonville into overtime<br />
November 14, 2004. Drummond<br />
became the first player in NFL<br />
history to return two punts for<br />
touchdowns in the fourth quarter<br />
and the 11th (14th time) to return<br />
two punts for a touchdowns in a<br />
single game.<br />
‣ ¾Drummond’s six punt returns<br />
against the Jaguars (11/14/04)<br />
for 199 yards (33.2 avg) is the<br />
third-best single-game total in<br />
NFL history and set a new Lions’<br />
franchise record for punt return<br />
yards in a game.<br />
‣ ¾Drummond’s two punt returns for<br />
touchdowns (55 and 83 yards) at<br />
Jacksonville (11/14/04) marked<br />
the third time in Lions’ history that<br />
a player recorded two punt return<br />
touchdowns in a game. CBJack<br />
Christiansen accomplished the feat<br />
twice in 1951 (2 vs. LA 10/14/51<br />
and 2 vs. GB 11/22/51).<br />
‣ ¾In the Lions’ 31-14 win in the 2012<br />
contest, RB Mikel Leshoure rushed<br />
his way into Lions history in as<br />
he carried the ball 16 times for<br />
70 yards and three touchdowns.<br />
He became the first player in<br />
Lions history to rush for three<br />
touchdowns in the first half of a<br />
game. Leshoure also became the<br />
10th player in Lions history with<br />
three rushing touchdowns in a<br />
game and it is the 16th time it has<br />
occurred in team history.<br />
