Pryor adds a passing TD; Lions trail 24-13 in fourth

Terrelle Pryor continues to destroy the Lions defense.

The Raiders backup quarterback hooked up with wide receiver Juron Criner for a 39-yard touchdown pass to take a 24-13 lead with 11:52 left in the fourth quarter.

Backup running back Taiwan Jones has also given the Lions second-team defense problems and has 50 yards on 10 carries.

The Lions thought they had a turnover on the touchdown drive, but Alphonso Smith’s interception was nullified by an illegal hands to the face penalty on defensive end Ronnell Lewis.

Smith was then beat on the touchdown pass.
