DETROIT _ Even the mathematical possibilities finally ran out on the Lions.

So they will play out the season the same way they played out last season. And, before that, the 2002 and 2001 seasons.

They virtually took themselves out of playoff contention by going 1-7 during a midseason run, although they maintained hope of a wild-card playoff berth.

Now even the most remote mathematical possibility has been eliminated. Seems that 6-10 or 7-9 just won't make it, even in a down year for the NFC.

The Lions' only motivation in their season finale Sunday at Tennessee will be what they can manufacture in their own minds _ pride of performance, the pleasure of playing the game right and the possibility of finishing the season with a victory.

And for some of them _ including middle linebacker Earl Holmes_it is not that difficult.
