Jets-Bills: Free game tickets in Detroit

There's no such thing as a free lunch, but there is such a thing as free NFL tickets. The Lions announced Friday that tickets for the Jets-Bills game being played at Detroit's Ford Field will be free.

That's right, the price to get into Monday night's game is zero dollars.

As you can imagine though, the free tickets won't be easy to get.

The Lions have set up a system to give them away so that someone doesn't walk away with 400 free tickets.

First, the team is going to send out an email to both Bills and Lions season-ticket holders offering the free tickets. Since Jets-Bills is technically a home game for the Bills, Jets season-ticket holders won't be getting an email offering the free tickets.

After Bills and Lions season-ticket holders claim their tickets, the general public will then have an opportunity to secure free tickets to the game beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday on DetroitLions.com.

If there are any tickets left after that, those tickets will go on sale/be given away for free at the Ford Field ticket office from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sunday and starting at 10 a.m. on Monday. Anyone with tickets for the game that was scheduled for Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium can also use those to get into Ford Field.

All seats for Monday's game are general admission.

If you don't end up scoring any free tickets, the game will be televised by CBS in several local markets. The game will also be available to DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscribers.

Browns TE Jordan Cameron returns to practice; will not play Week 12



Pat McManamon, who covers the Cleveland Browns for ESPN.com, says tight end Jordan Cameron will not play Sunday, but he did return to practice on Friday. Cameron has missed four games this season due to shoulder and, more recently, concussion-related issues. He has posted 13 receptions for 250 yards and one touchdown on the year. With Cameron missing again, Jim Dray and Gary Barnidge will see the bulk of the action at tight end.



If you've held onto Cameron this long, what's another week? With him practicing Friday, it bodes well for him to return to the field for Week 13.The Browns, who are in the thick of the AFC playoff picture at 6-4, will get a boost in the passing game this week with the return of WR Josh Gordon. If they can get past the Falcons and come out of Week 12 at 7-4, gettting Cameron is only going to boost Gordon's and QB Brian Hoyer's fantasy value. Once Cameron returns, he's got to be seriously considered as a TE1 in any format. The position is super-thin. Dray and Barnidge hold little to no fantasy value.
