Detroit Lions to host kicker workout after Ryan Santoso misses GW FG attempt

Ryan Santoso's struggles kicking in the rain mean the Detroit Lions could have their third kicker of the season.

Santoso missed a field goal and extra point in Sunday's 16-16 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, leaving the Lions (0-8-1) as the only remaining winless team in the NFL.

In soggy conditions, Santoso pushed an extra point wide right after Godwin Igwebuike scored on a 42-yard run early in the third quarter. Igwebuike's touchdown gave the Lions a 16-10 lead, and the Steelers tied the game with two second half field goals.

In overtime, Santoso badly missed a 48-yard field goal attempt on the period's second possession that would have given the Lions their first win.
