Kitna to Williams

Roy Williams, 20 yd pass from Jon Kitna (Jason Hanson kick is good), 10:14. Drive: 8 plays, 78 yards in 4:46.

Hope this keeps up in the regular season.

Great catch by Brandon Middleton

Orlovsky lobbed a pass downfield, had it tipped, and Middleton came back and bobbled it before hauling it in. Lions all the way down to the 17 now.

Lions just run it on 3rd and long

Actually the best run of the day, but they’ll have to punt.

However, he was past the LOS when he made the throw.

Call is overturned

Pinner ruled down by contact. That’s a huge break. It really could have gone either way. Thankfully, the Lions will keep the ball at the Giants 42 with 4:04 to go.

Stanton hits Calhoun

Giants use their final timeout. Eddie Johnson comes back in to kick another field goal. About 44 yards out. Hopefully he makes it this time.

Penalties on both teams, but the Lions' one came after the play

15-yard penalty and an automatic first down for the Giants. Bad move.

Lions win 13-10. Thanks to those of you that checked in earlier, and hopefully for the next game I’ll see more of you here for the entire game. Thankfully the next game will be a much earlier start.
