Brett Favre and another year of experience have turned Sidney Rice into Minnesota's newest star receiver. Favre passed for a season-high 344 yards, 201 to Rice, and the Vikings beat the Detroit Lions 27-10 on Sunday. The Lions (1-8) joined the Houston Oilers, from Nov. 21, 1982 through Nov. 4, 1984, as the only NFL teams to lose 31 games in a 33-game stretch, according to STATS.
