Not a great homecoming

Frank Ragnow is a rookie Lions guard. The 22-year-old from Chanhassen played at Arkansas and was the Lions' first-round pick (20th overall). After his team gave up 10 sacks to the Vikings on Sunday, Ragnow said, "It felt like we got outplayed. We let the momentum overtake us. We have to get that momentum swing back, and we were unable to do that."
