The Lions play their second preseason game on Thursday night in Washington (7:30 p.m., Fox 2). Follow all of the action here with updates throughout the game by Rod Beard of The Detroit News.
First drive nets Lions a FG
Just like last week, the Lions scored on the first drive, this time a field goal after a short, 35-yard drive. The key play was a 19-yard pass from Matthew Stafford to Golden Tate for a first down, and Jeremy Ross had another 12-yard catch for a first down. The offense, even without Calvin Johnson, was pretty good, aside from a Stafford sack on third down.
