ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- There is perhaps no bigger cautionary tale about how records in the preseason do not necessarily predict regular season success than the performance of the 2008 Detroit Lions.
The '08 Lions went 4-0 in the preseason and held their opponents to 10, 10, six and six points. And those same '08 then, as former Denver Broncos center Manny Ramirez once put it "never saw a win the rest of the way." Yes, those Lions went 0-16.
