- On his 59-yard bomb to Golden Tate, Matthew Stafford set the Detroit Lions' franchise record for career touchdown passes. Bobby Layne previously held the record with 118, and now Stafford holds that mark with 120 (and counting).
- Stafford just has a knack for comeback victories:

- Tate is a pretty talented wide receiver.

- This was a great line from Matt Prater after Sunday's game:
Matt Prater: "They send me out to make field goals, not attempt them. I’m happy I came through." #OnePride

- The Lions' delay of game penalty that preceded Prater's game-winning field goal was most definitely a good thing.
Matt Prater on the delay of game penalty making it a longer kick: "The footing was bad at that spot so I was happy to move it back."

- The Lions have been a lot better in the second half than the first half the last two weeks, to say the least.
The #Lions have now outscored their opponents 43-13 in 2nd halves of the last two games for a pair of epic comeback wins. #OnePride

- On a related note, Teryl Austin apparently gave quite a speech to the Lions defense at halftime on Sunday.
