Live updates: Stafford finds Tate again, Lions lead 21-3

Lions lighting up the Superdome in first half

Matt Stafford found Golden Tate in the endzone for the second time tonight, this time on a 5-yard hookup that has the Lions leading, 21-3, with 4:27 to play in the first half.

It looked like the Lions drive may stall facing 1st-and-20 from the Saints 41, but Theo Riddick took a short pass 21 yards for a first down. On the play, Riddick shook Saints linebacker Dannelle Ellerbe out of his boots, leaving his as confused as a guy on a basketball court that just got hit with a killer crossover.
