The Lions were just about on the money in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Washington Redskins, owning the ball for just 24:15. "The time of possession's still hurting us," said head coach Rod Marinelli. "Defense is on the field too long. Offense has got to get more. So you just -- there's some things that you see that we're improving at but |

Watson gained 110 yards rushing in his only start against Houston, back in 2002 with the Washington Redskins. Perry has been losing control of the football, which has been limiting his touches.
