Kitna's lofty aim: 50 passing TDs
July 1, 2007

At this rate, Jon Kitna might say the Lions are going to win two Super Bowls -- this season.
Having already made waves by saying the Lions will win 10 games this year, the quarterback mentioned another far-out figure during an appearance on ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" radio show Friday.
Asked how many touchdown passes he will throw this season, Kitna replied: "We've been joking around as the passing-game crew -- the receivers and tights ends and stuff -- we've been breaking down our little huddles saying '50' and all that stuff.
"But we know that's an awful lofty goal."
Why, yes, it is. The NFL record, held by Peyton Manning, is 49. Kitna's career high is 26, set in 2003.
The interviewers also asked Kitna about his 10-wins-or-more prediction, and he again stood behind it.
"The thing I think is holding back our organization is expectations," Kitna said. "Our expectation level has to come up."
• Kitna also mentioned that tailback Kevin Jones is "looking good" in his recovery from a serious foot injury suffered last season.
