Lions give up kickoff return TD

The Lions big lead is all gone, and now they trail 32-31 with 13:53 remaining.

After a field goal by Jason Hanson, the Lions gave up a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Marcus Easley.

The Bills then went for 2, and after a false start, they still converted from seven yards away when Easley powered through a Kevin Barnes tackle to reach the ball across the goal line — barely.
