Jonte Green back in the dog house

Lions cornerback Jonte Green gave up an early touchdown, but made up for it with an interception return for a touchdown in the same quarter.

The second half has been a different story. Green gave up a pass that got the Bills to the Detroit 1 yard line on the first drive of the third quarter, setting up a rushing touchdown by Johnny White.

On Buffalo’s second drive, Green gave up a four-yard touchdown catch to Dorin Dickerson and was called for a pass interference on the play.

The Lions still lead, 28-24, but the only bright spot in the secondary has been Amari Spievey, whose roster spot is already locked up.
