View photos from Lions-Cardinals matchups through the years.

Detroit Lions halfback Dan Lewis (45) looks like he is about to be toppled by Chicago Cardinals back Jim Wagstaff (on ground), but Lewis was too fleet for him. He ran a good ten yards more in this fourth quarter play before another player nailed him. At rear is Cardinals linebacker Ted Bates (51). The Lions scored early and kept a healthy lead throughout the game to win 54-21, on Dec. 7, 1959 in Detroit. (AP Photo/AlvinQuinn)

FILE - In this Sept. 26, 1993, file photo, Detroit Lions quarterback Andre Ware (11) runs from the pocket while trying to avoid the tackle of Phoenix Cardinals outside linebacker Freddie Joe Nunn (50) during the first quarter in Pontiac, Mich. The Motor City has witnessed a lot of losing seasons in the league in large part because the Lions have missed more than hit the mark with draft decisions. Taking quarterback Andre Ware seventh overall in 1990 is only one example. (AP Photo/Lennox McLendon, File)
