BEREA, Ohio -- Quarterback Drew Stanton knows what it means to go through a winless season.
"I don't wish that on anybody," said Stanton, a member of the 2008 Detroit Lions, the only 0-16 team in NFL history.
In 2009, the St. Louis Rams went 1-15. The team the Rams beat? Detroit. After the game, Stanton crossed paths with a former teammate from Michigan State, Cliff Ryan.
"I told him, 'I'm so happy for you guys,'" Stanton said. "'Usually I can never accept losing, but the fact that you guys don't have to worry about going 0-16 makes it that much better for you guys.
