Detroit Lions score early turnover

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick fielded questions all week about his turnovers.

And sure enough, the problem presented itself in the first quarter — even if it wasn’t his fault.

With the Eagles driving, the Eagles center snapped it to Vick in the shotgun while he wasn’t looking.

Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch recovered the ball, and now they will start the next drive from their own 45.

Things seem to be going the Lions way early, but they’re still making mistakes. After two defensive penalties on that Eagles drive, the Lions already have six infractions for 60 yards and the first quarter just ended.
