Basically, Ford Field has been waiting for a contender since Barry Sanders electrified the Lion backfield. This time Detroit Lions tickets are being sold for an offense led by a quarterback and not a running back.

About The Detroit Lions
The Lions backfield remains as pitiful as it had been in the first season without Sanders. A run by committee approach has yielded little more than the fourth-worst rushing effort in the league. Kevin Smith is now the best fo the bunch after Jahvid Best once again landed on the IR. There is increased pressure on Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams to provide the change of pace and the third down push to earn a new set of downs.
Detroit’s strength is the passing game. Quarterback Matthew Stafford is one of three players to surpass 5,000 yards and three players to throw more than 40 touchdown passes. He did throw an awful lot, but that proved a necessity during the regular season. His favorite target, Calvin Johnson, led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,681. For a while it appeared he might break Randy Moss’s single season touchdown record, but he slowed down his pace and finished with a still very impressive 16. This is the dynamic duo, while the Stafford-tight end Brandon Pettigrew connection is one of the best possession valves in the league.
Detroit also has to play defense to advance, especially in a postseason field with football teams like the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, and Green Bay Packers. However, given the porous state of the unit, Detroit Lion playoff tickets may just be those to see a barnburner breaking scoring records. However, the Lions still possess one of the most feared defensive lines in the league and they need to pound the quarterback and any running back trying to smash through the middle for a real shot at the Super Bowl.
The TicketSpecialists have the Detroit Lions tickets for every playoff game on the NFL postseason schedule. It is unlikely any of those games will be coming to Ford Field, but those fans willing to travel can find great seats to enjoy their blessed Lions as they try and engineer an improbable Super Bowl run. The first playoff game is on January 7, 2012 at the Superdome at 8:00 PM ET.
