Kellen Moore in at QB as third team takes over

Quarterback Kellen Moore has taken over for Shaun Hill in the fourth quarter as the Lions give their third-teamers a chance for some playing time.

Moore’s first drive was rather lackluster. The Lions crossed into Raiders territory, but on third and seven from the Oakland 46, Moore was sacked for a loss of six.

The Lions punted away, and their defense held. They will have the ball back with 7:20 in the fourth quarter, still trailing 24-13.
