In the midst of this less-than-stellar matchup between the Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins, one player is beginning to make his mark.
Lions running back Bo Scarbrough went into the Lions record books along with former greats Barry Sanders along with Billy Sims and Mel Farr as the only players in team history to rush for at least 55 yards in each of their first 2 career games.

Scarbrough played college ball at Alabama and also spent time with the practice squads of the Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars before signing with the Lions on November 6.
During his NFL debut last week against Dallas, he rushed 14 times for 55 yards and a touchdown.
