Marcus Murphy set the Jets up nicely with a kickoff return to the 43, but unfortunately for the third-year man out of Missouri, a penalty brought the ball back inside the 20. The Lions defense forced a three-and-out. Glover Quinn dropped a chance at an interception on third down.
Lions settle for a field goal
After the Lions took over at the Jets 43, Matt Stafford found Golden Tate for an 18-yard reception down to the 25. Ameer Abdullah rushed for six yards on first down, but Stafford was sacked on second down for a loss of 11.
