DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions own a dubious piece of NFL history — with perhaps more on the way. Detroit became the first 0-15 team ever when it was routed 42-7 by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Lions will try to avoid a perfectly awful season in the finale at Green Bay, where they haven’t won since 1991. Drew Brees threw for 351 yards and two touchdowns after four Saints ran for scores in the first half. Brees stayed in the game with a 35-point lead late in the fourth quarter to move closer to Dan Marino’s single-season record for yards passing. He needs 402 at home against Carolina to break Marino’s record of 5,084 set in 1984. The Lions were outscored by a combined 176 points at home this season, smashing the previous record of 146 set by the 1981 Colts. Detroit seemed doomed early when former LSU standout Skyler Green returned the opening kickoff for 60 yards and Robert Meachem was untouched on a 20-yard end-around 2½ minutes into the game. The Lions seemed to tie it on the ensuing drive, but a 52-yard pass to Calvin Johnson was negated because rookie offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus was called for illegal procedure — his second penalty of the possession. New Orleans went 97 yards on its next drive, taking a 14-0 lead on Deuce McAllister’s 2-yard run. Detroit scored its only points on Kevin Smith’s 1-yard run early in the second quarter after the Saints bailed out the Lions with a pass-interference penalty on fourth down. But Mike Bell and Pierre Thomas ran for TDs in the first half, giving the Saints a 28-7 lead. The Lions opened the second half with a penalty for breaking the huddle with 12 players. It never got any better. Brees connected with Marques Colston twice in the third quarter for a 42-7 lead and a single-season franchise record of 29 touchdowns. The Saints also set a team record with their 50th TD of the year. Detroit benched Dan Orlovsky early in the fourth quarter after he completed just 10 of 23 passes for 125 yards and two interceptions. Drew Stanton entered and was 1-of-3 for 12 yards. It got so ugly fans mockingly in the half-empty stadium chanted “Jo-ey! Jo-ey!” in reference to New Orleans’ third-string quarterback Joey Harrington, who was the first of many first-round busts Detroit drafted during its miserable eight-season stretch.
