Fales flings some hope in Lions' second preseason loss

Houston — The Detroit Lions remain winless in the preseason, but unlike last week's 31-3 defeat at the hands of the New England Patriots, Saturday's 30-23 wasn't devoid of positive play.

Playing the majority of the second half, third-string quarterback David Fales put together a surprisingly stellar performance, completing 12 of 19 passes for 226 yards and a touchdown

Fales' first pass, a 35-yard completion to rookie Travis Fulgham, marked the team's longest non-penalty gain of the preseason. Three plays later, Fales topped it, hitting Andy Jones, in stride. for 48 yards down to the Texans' 5-yard line.
