Can Jacksonville make it two in a row?

Last week the Jacksonville Jaguars disappointed fans all over the country when they were upset by the Cincinnati Bengals, one of only two winless teams in the NFL. Now in week 10, the Jags face the final winless team, the Detroit Lions.

The Lions will enter the game with Daunte Culpepper under center, fresh out of retirement. It's more likely that Culpepper will draw up plays on the palm of his hand in the huddle than anything, hopefully calling the famous "run 10 steps then hook left" type of play calling. It might not be the worst thing, though, as the Lions have had no continuity on offense for an entire game this season and if all else fails, Culpepper might see visions of Randy Moss to his left and chuck deep bombs to Calvin Johnson all game.

The Jaguars are getting 6 points in this game, but their rushing defense has disappeared in recent weeks and their famed defense looks soft. Watch out Jacksonville, this may be Detroit's last chance to win a game this season, making them surprisingly dangerous.
