The good news: Matthew Stafford didn’t throw an interception.
The bad news: He almost did.
Stafford again tried to force a pass into the end zone after scrambling away from pressure. But the defender dropped the ball and the Lions were able to salvage a field goal out of a last-gasp drive just before halftime.
On the first play, Stafford found Calvin Johnson on a 51-yard pass play down the middle, setting the Lions up at the Rams’ 25. But the drive stalled and they were able to cut the deficit to 13-10 on Jason Hanson’s 41-yard field goal.
