Game Notes

Lions beat the Redskins 33-17 with exes.

Two former Washington players spark Detroit's win in a battle of 1st place teams. Gus Frerotte throws for 280 yards and 1 TD, and Desmond Howard returns a punt 68 yards for a TD, just 2 days after joining the team.

After the Redskins take a 10-3 lead on James Thrash's 95-yard KO return, the Lions respond with a quick drive for a 23-yard TD pass from Frerotte to Herman Moore. Following the next series, Howard returns Matt Turk's punt for a TD and the go-ahead score. Leading 26-17, Detroit puts the game away when Luther Elliss returns a fumble 11 yards for a TD.
