Live Lions blog: Despite first downs, Lions punt again

The Lions, midway through the fourth quarter, picked up their first two first downs of the second half. However, they were still forced to punt.

Detroit has a 13-9 lead and will need another defensive stop -- perhaps two -- to hold on for the win.

Lions get big 4Q stop

The Lions, for the second straight drive, got a big defensive stop.

This time, the Vikings had a fourth-and-inches from the Lions 5-yard-line. The Vikings, on the previous play, challenged the spot claiming Jerrick McKinnon crossed the line to gain at the Lions 4.
