The Lions’ second drive got off to a bad start. Corey Robinson was called for a false start and Matthew Stafford picked that yardage back up with a 7-yard completion to Anquan Boldin.
But new Lion Justin Forsett was dropped for a yard loss on his first carry and rookie Taylor Decker was called for a false start to set up a third-and-14. A defensive holding penalty bailed the Lions out and extended the drive.
Forsett picked up nine yards on first down, but Stafford followed with an incompletion and Zach Zenner was dropped for a 2-yard loss on third-and-1, forcing the Lions to punt from their 38.
