The Lions defense was able to get the ball back to its offense with just over two minutes remaining in the first half, all three timeouts intact, and Matthew Stafford and Co. delivered with the go-ahead touchdown.
Stafford completed first down passes on the drive to Marvin Jones, Anquan Boldin and Zach Zenner as the Lions worked their way downfield and bled the clock. After the methodical drive got the ball down to the 3, Stafford dropped back and found Golden Tate for the go-ahead score.
Stafford was 16-for-22 for 183 yards and a score in the first half.
