Live Lions blog: 40-yard FG puts Saints on board in 2Q

A 40-yard field goal from Wil Lutz put the Saints on the board in the second quarter.

After starting in Lions territory, the Saints picked up a first down, but an offensive holding penalty made it first-and-20. The Lions defense sniffed out a screen pass on third-and-13, forcing the field goal attempt.

In the second quarter, the Lions have a 10-3 lead.

Lions punt, still up 10-0

The Lions went three-and-out for the first time midway through the second quarter, but still have a 10-0 lead.

On third-and-11, it looked like Theo Riddick had a lane, after a screen pass from Matthew Stafford, but he tripped four yards short of the first down.
