It took a while but the Lions’ offense finally started showing signs of life.
On the final drive of the first half, the Lions put together a 10-play, 67-yard drive that resulted in a 27-yard field goal by Matt Prater to tie it at 9 heading into halftime.
Stafford completed 6-of-8 passes on the drive for 66 yards, starting with a 14-yard pass to Theo Riddick, 12-yard pass to Golden Tate and another 12-yard pass to Riddick.
Following an incompletion to Marvin Jones, Stafford hit Anquan Boldin for eight yards and kept the drive alive with a 15-yard pass to Jones over the middle, giving the Lions a first down at the Jaguars’ 14.
