SERIES NOTES
‣ ¾In the teams’ first meeting, the
Lions defeated Oakland 28-14 on
Thanksgiving Day (11/26/70). The
win was the second of five straight
wins by the Lions that propelled
them to their first playoff berth
since 1957. RB Mel Farr rushed 21
times for 121 yards, rallying Detroit
from a 14-0 deficit.
‣ ¾The Lions shut out the defending
Super Bowl champion Raiders
16-0 on September 27, 1981.
Detroit was the first team to shut
out the Raiders in 15 years, as the
Lions limited Oakland to only 131
yards in total offense. The Lions
collected six sacks and DB Jimmy
Allen intercepted his fourth pass
in as many games. RB Billy Sims
earned his second consecutive
100-yard rushing game (133 yards)
while RB Dexter Bussey passed RB
Altie Taylor as the club’s all-time
leading rusher at the time.
‣ ¾In a Monday Night Football meeting
on December 10, 1990, there were
five Heisman Trophy winners on the
field (Det: Barry Sanders and Andre
Ware, Oak: Marcus Allen, Tim
Brown and Bo Jackson). Sanders
finished the game with 176 yards
rushing, while Jackson led the
Raiders with 129 yards on the
ground.
‣ ¾The Lions defeated the defending
AFC Champion Oakland Raiders on
November 2, 2003 at Ford Field,
the Raiders’ first trip to Detroit
since 1990.
‣ ¾DE Dewayne White was named
NFC Defensive Player of the Week
for his performance at Oakland
(9/9/07) as he was a force in
the fourth quarter when Detroit
scored 16 unanswered points in
the final 10:45 to come away with
the victory. After the Lions took a
26-21 lead in the fourth quarter,
White intercepted a pass on the
ensuing Raiders drive and returned
it 28 yards to set up a field goal to
increase Detroit’s lead to eight. On
the first play of the next Oakland
possession, White recorded a sackfumble
that was recovered by the
Lions. The play helped set up a
touchdown to seal the win.
‣ ¾Trailing 27-14 with 7:47 left in the
fourth quarter on December 18,
2011, the Lions completed the
13-point comeback and became
the first team in NFL history to
record four 13+-point camebacks in
a season. The Lions game-winning
drive started at the Raiders’ 2-yard
line with 2:14 left in the fourth
quarter and was completed when
QB Matthew Stafford hit WR Calvin
Johnson on a 6-yard touchdown
pass with 0:39 left to play.
‣ ¾QB Matthew Stafford broke the
Lions single-season touchdown
record with his 33rd touchdown
pass of the season at Oakland
(12/18/11). He passed QB Scott
Mitchell who threw for 32 in 1995.
Stafford completed the 2011
season with 41 touchdown passes.
