DETROIT — Ziggy Ansah rushed toward the inside, was held up by Donald Penn's right arm, fell to the ground and immediately began signaling for a safety.
On a day full of strong efforts on Detroit's defense, the penalty Ansah drew turned out to be Oakland's last offensive play.
The Lions took an 18-13 lead with 7:31 remaining when officials called holding in the end zone, and the Raiders never got the ball back Sunday. Detroit was able to run out the clock and win their second straight game after dropping seven of their first eight.
"We haven't given up yet," Ansah said.
