Raiders hold on for upset win

Lions penalty erases field goal opportunity

The Detroit Lions spurned what could've been a field goal opportunity in the closing seconds of the first half. After getting the ball down to the Bucs nine yard line, Jared Goff spiked the ball. However, there were too many men on the field and because the team did not have a timeout it caused a runoff on the clock to bring the game to halftime. At the break, the Lions trail Tampa Bay, 13-6.
