Stefan Logan return helps Detroit Lions grab early lead

For now, the Lions special teams seems to have given them an edge.

Return specialist Stefan Logan returned an Eagles punt 48 yards to give the Lions great field position at the Philadelphia 34.

The Lions, though, couldn’t do much the field position. Their drive stalled after three plays, and Jason Hanson kicked a 46-yard field goal to give them a 3-0 lead with 11:03 left in the first quarter.
