After losing to a previously-winless team their last time out, the Jaguars look to avoid a similar fate Sunday when they visit the 0-8 Detroit Lions, who might start recently signed Daunte Culpepper at quarterback.

Following a 23-17 loss to struggling Cleveland on Oct. 26, Jacksonville fell to Cincinnati 21-19 last Sunday as the Bengals won their first game of the year.

Jacksonville backers are praying the team can turn a corner against the league's only winless team. The Lions are off to their worst start since opening a franchise-worst 0-12 in 2001, and have lost 15 of 16 overall. With Dan Orlovsky spraining his right thumb it could give Culpepper a chance to make his first start of the season. Can the former Pro Bowler QB help the 7-point underdog Lions get their first win of the season?
