Matt Prater hit a 48-yard field goal and the Lions were able to counter the Steelers opening drive with three points of their own.
At the 7:50 mark of the first quarter, it's 3-3.
After being flushed out of the pocket on second-and-14, Matt Stafford found Marvin Jones over the top for a 43-yard gain down to the Pittsburgh 36. Golden Tate hauled in his first reception of the night for a four-yard gain, and on second down, TJ Jones reeled one in at the sticks for another Lions first down. Dwayne Washington followed with a five-yard run.
