Just when it appeared the Lions’ offense was going to get something going, it shoots itself in the foot.
One play after Matthew Stafford hit Andre Roberts for a 44-yard gain to give the Lions a first-and-10 at the Jacksonville 28, Golden Tate was stripped by defensive end Jared Odrick and the Jaguars recovered the fumble at their 34.
However, the turnover didn’t turn into more Jaguars points as the defense forced a three-and-out. The Lions take over at their 21 trailing by three with 13:24 left in the game.

The Jaguars have rattled off 10 unanswered points to take a 19-16 lead over the Lions with 2:10 left in the third following an acrobatic 3-yard touchdown catch by Marqise Lee along the left edge of the end zone to cap a 9-play, 87-yard drive.
