Nick Fairley on his Lions' debut

Lion’s rookie defensive tackle Nick Fairley, 13th overall draft pick, has admitted that a few nerves before he made his debut in the season, 24-13 on Monday night victory over Chicago.

"Yes, I would say yes because he was the first one there," Farley said. "It was with mixed feelings: a tall, nervously. But once I got that first (play) in the direction of, the nerves were gone and it's time to ball."

Fairleigh barely saw the practice field because he broke his left leg on August 1. But he practiced for four consecutive days last week and said he got the green light to play after practicing on Sunday guide.

"He was healthy, and we prepared for a reason for him to play," coach Jim Schwartz."It's been a while that we waited so long to (see) that. He made some really good things in practice this week. Put your foot in the rear view mirror and got a good start."

Schwartz said Farley played an equivalent number of pictures for an exhibition game, which would have been in the sub-20 next door.

"I think I did well," said Farley. "There is always room for improvement. That's how I feel when I'm on the D-line. So basically I just watch the film, see what I did wrong, correct it and then come back next week and make plays ".

Defensive end Cliff Avril was impressed with Farley, who was credited with a hit back.

"Amazing", said Avril. "I watched him for a couple of plays when I was on the sideline. It's so much potential. Even after being with him for so long, he bounced back and a couple of pressure, playing well ahead of the game. It's just crazy to see how it going to get when he's healthy at 100% and was not thinking about what's going on around him. "

Boxing Day: As part of the circus-like atmosphere, Lviv was a boxing announcer Michael (Let's willing to rumble) Buffer to announce Lions starters on offense.

Lions receiver Nate Burleson out of the tunnel with boxing gloves on his neck. It is hardly coincidental.

"I have my ear to the street, man," Burleson said. "So I heard - a little bird told me that the buffer is going to make announcements. I shot straight to the sporting goods store and got some gloves. It's Monday night, man! You only get one of them, so I wanted to go out, do his work, and let everyone know that we are ready to fight. "

Lying lions, and to be specific, Lions fans have got to Chicago nine false start penalties.Ford Field was deafening when the bears were on offense.

"It was crazy", Burleson said. "False starts and the crowd was just getting into it. Looking at the stands and seeing no open seats, and then find out there's probably more people outside the stadium goes crazy. It was an incredible feeling and I'm glad to see that keep going."

Avril said volume started early and never ceased. After the sixth bear false start scoreboard read: "Lions fans, 6, 0 Bears!"

"They jumped offsides, I want to say five times during the first two series," Avril said."This crowd, of course, is the clutch, and we must keep it on all the time getting wins."

HANSON HITS 300: Kicker Jason Hanson became the first player in NFL history to play 300 games with the same team. Hanson, 41, is in his 20th season with the Lions. He hit 31-yard ball, converted two extra points and has 51 points, which tied for the league's leading scoring with New Orleans kicker John Kasay.
