Jason Hanson field goal adds to Detroit Lions' lead

The Lions have drawn first blood in the second half.

Jason Hanson’s 43-yard field goal gave the Lions a 24-14 lead with 7:03 left in the third quarter.

The Lions continued their air assault and rookie receiver Ryan Broyles had two catches for 20 yards on the drive.

The Lions forced a three-and-out by the Texans to start the half and responded with a 3-point drive. Let’s see if they can keep the momentum.
