Owens Stars as Lions Top Rams in Televised Clash
Detroit running back Steve Owens, filling in for the injured Mel Farr, rushed 17 times for 66 yards and caught three passes as the Lions beat the Los Angeles Rams 28-23. Owens scored twice and earned the game ball, with coach Joe Schmidt praising Landry's play and the offensive line for giving him time. Farr's shoulder dislocation could sideline him two to three weeks as Detroit improves to 9-4 in the Central division while Los Angeles sits 9-3-1 in the Western division.

Steelers Won't Seek Quarterbacks In Draft
Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll indicated the Steelers will have many draft options but are unlikely to select another quarterback. Rookie Terry Bradshaw remains the hopeful, though his progress has been questioned after a season with 24 interceptions. Terry Hanratty has struggled recently, raising doubts about Bradshaw’s future as a quarterback. The team’s playoff chances vanished after losses to Atlanta and Cincinnati. Bradshaw had two second-half picks in the defeat. Noll praised Bradshaw’s early contributions but tempered expectations for his quarterback role.
