The Lions kept things interesting Sunday afternoon, recovering an onside kick after pulling within seven, late in the 4th quarter against the Rams in St. Louis. A bad snap ultimately ended the Lions hope of victory, turning it over on downs, snapping the Rams 5 game losing stream 21-14. Rookie phenom Todd Gurely came to life in the 3rd quarter after a slow start, rushing for 140 yds and 2 scores. Golden Tate was the lone bright spots for the Lions offense with 9 receptions for 60 yds and 2 TDs. Matthew Stafford became the fastest player to 25,000 yds in NFL history on his first TD throw to Golden Tate in the 3rd, while Calvin Johnson was held to just 1 reception for 16 yards. The Lions suffered a disastrous 2nd quarter with Matthew Stafford throwing a pick six to St. Louis cornerback Trumian Johnson and Brandon Pettigrew going down with a knee injury. Next up for the Lions, a Monday night match up in New Orleans against the Saints Dec. 21st.
