The Lions’ defense is riding the momentum into the second half.
Kerry Hyder Jr. dropped running back Todd Gurley for 1-yard loss on the first play of the second half. Then after Lance Kendricks’ 6-yard catch, back-to-back false start penalties on the Rams put them in a third-and-15 at their 5.
They weren’t able to convert as the Lions held the Rams to their first three-and-out of the game. The Lions start their first drive of the second half at their 40 with 12:07 left in the third quarter.
