Live updates: Lions add field goal to start second half

Lions strike with field goal to start second half

The Lions received the ball to start the second half and they returned the ball to their own 34. After setting up a third-and-1, Ameer Abdullah took a quick pitch across the line of scrimmage for a first down. A short reception by Abdullah set up another third-and-short and Matthew Stafford hit Golden Tate on a rollout near the sideline. Marvin Jones Jr. then caught another contested pass over Darqueze Dennard for 31 yards down to the 13-yard line. On third-and-2 from inside the Bengals' 10, Stafford couldn't connect with Kenny Golladay in the end zone, setting up a field goal try.
