"The first six games, if you're a coach, you go, 'Whoa,' " defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham said. "You worry. He made a lot of plays, but he didn't fit the defense very well.

How do you stop Vikings defensive end Jared Allen? "Probably shoot him," said Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, who once coached him in Kansas City. "I'm saying that in a joking way. I love him. I respect him." If only the Lions had a silver bullet Sunday at Minnesota, so to speak.
