 Rogers got off to a hot start, but was injured in the middle of the season, and because of this, the Lions drafted wide receiver Roy Williams seventh overall in the 2004 NFL Draft.The Lions went the entire 2001, 2002, and 2003 seasons without a road victory.This streak, encompassing of a then NFL record 24 games, came to an end on September 12, 2004 when they defeated the Bears 20–16 at Soldier Field in Chicago.
