Terrelle Pryor gives Raiders lead over Lions

Remember him?

Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor just scored on a 17-yard scramble to give the Raiders a 17-13 lead with 41 seconds left in the third quarter.

Pryor has had some success so far tonight after taking over for Carson Palmer. He has 81 yards on four rushes, including a 59-yard run, and is 1-for-2 with a 22-yard completion.

The Lions have taken out most of their starters and with good reason. Matthew Stafford (left hand), Bill Bentley (shoulder), Chris Houston (ankle) and Kevin Smith (ankle) have all suffered injuries in the game.

Ryan Broyles has seen some action so far in the second half. He has one catch for 13 yards.
