DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Lions' home game against the Cleveland Browns will be blacked out on local TV. Lions spokesman Bill Keenist confirmed Thursday the team did not sell 7,000-plus tickets that were available the previous day. The game featuring two 1-8 teams will be not be shown on TV in the Detroit, Lansing, Saginaw-Flint and Toledo, Ohio, markets. Detroit has sold out two of its five games at Ford Field this season: its home opener and a game against Pittsburgh in which Steelers fans might've outnumbered Lions fans. The Lions drew just 40,857 fans the last time they were at home -- their smallest crowd in two decades -- and had just 40,896 fans watch their lone win against Washington.
