Apparently, the Lions actually have 3 fans: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. After all, the Trinity brought him back from the brink of concussed to lead the Lions to victory!

I have no headaches, no symptoms, no lingering effects. But that was the worst my head has ever felt, and the worse my memory was in the second quarter. Yet, after halftime there was nothing. Kitna was knocked out of the game against Minnesota on Sunday with a concussion, only to return and lead the Lions to an overtime win over the Vikings. "I've never felt anything like that, and for it to clear up and go right back to as normal as I can be, is nothing short of a miracle," Kitna said Monday. "I just definitely feel the hand of God. That's all it was. You can't explain it. "I have no headaches, no symptoms, no lingering effects. But that was the worst my head has ever felt, and the worse my memory was in the second quarter. Yet, after halftime there was nothing." Kitna said it was the third concussion of his NFL career, and the first since 2001. After saying he knew who he was during the game, a reporter asked Kitna if he knew where he was. "Barely," he said. He was knocked out of the game in the second quarter and appeared to be out for the rest of the day, standing on the sideline without a helmet. But the team cleared him to play in the third quarter and he came back in the fourth. Kitna passed a follow-up examination Monday morning. "He's fine," coach Rod Marinelli said. "He didn't have any symptoms, no headaches." Kitna ran the ball twice on the final possession, leading a game-winning drive when Detroit trailed or was tied for the third straight game, including a win last season at Dallas. "It was a courageous effort," offensive tackle George Foster said. said Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press
Its amazing. After 10 years of having top 5 picks, they finally win 2 games to start a season!. God is a miracle worker
Kitna is one of the great people in the league, although he is just a middling quarterback. If the Lions make the playoffs and Kitna continues to play well, he very well may win the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. I'm certainly rooting for Kitna and the Lions this year. They finally got smart with the draft the last two years taking Ernie Sims and Calvin Johnson.
They do have the best WR corps if you want to go 4-deep. Roy Williams, Mike Furrey, Shaun McDonald, and Calvin Johnson have all made solid contributions in both games. Cincinnati, when they get Chris Henry back, could also make a case now that Glenn Holt showed something yesterday. Holt got the shit beat out of him several times yesterday. He still caught 5 passes for 52 yards and scored the final touchdown. I have to figure Brodney Pool's hit on Holt would be #1 on Jacked Up tonight.
