Martha Ford has confirmed a story originally reported by ESPN. Team President Tom Lewand and General Manager Martin Mayhew have been let go. Sheldon White will be the interim GM. The Lions are off to a 1-7 start after going 11-5 last season, losing in the first round of the playoffs to the Dallas Cowboys. Lewand and Mayhew have been in charge of the Lions since 2008.
