Live updates: Third-down penalty proves costly for Lions as Bucs take 6-0 lead

Bucs take 6-0 lead after penalty extends opening drive

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers start from their own 18.

Brady's first-down pass is high and incomplete, and it's third-and-9 after a 1-yard carry by Leonard Fournette. Brady is sacked by Jahlani Tavai on third down, but Everson Griffen is flagged for offsides. On the replayed down, Brady finds Chris Godwin for a pickup of 8 that'll keep the opening drive alive.

On the next play, Mike Evans gets wide-open down the sideline for a pickup of 33 to the Detroit 35. Brady floats a gorgeous throw to Rob Gronkowski, who catches it inside the 5 and then dives into the end zone for a Tampa Bay touchdown.
