Detroit Lions Tickets Culpepper Signs Two Year Deal

The Detroit Lions almost pushed past the Chicago Bears during week nine, which would have meant the first victory of the season for the 0 8 Lions. That extra push they need could have just joined the team as they signed Pro Bowl quarterback Daunte Culpepper to a two year deal. The team was in need of an extra quarterback after they placed veteran quarterback Jon Kitna on injured reserve. Although the Lions haven�t declared whether Culpepper will start, he is likely to be the favored choice over current quarterback Dan Orlovsky. Orlovsky has started every game since game six. His first two stars,custom bobbleheads, he had quarterback ratings of 95.3 and 99.6 respectively, but since then his stats have gone down as he tallied a rating of 88.2 against the Washington Redskins and 74.1 against the Chicago Bears.
