From the Lions weekly

First and ten at the Carolina fifteen, seven nineteen left in the game, down thirty-two to nineteen. An incompletion to Sam LaPorta, two more to Amon-Ra St. Brown, a delay of game and a false start later, it was fourth and twenty at the twenty-five. On that snap Jared Goff threw short right to St. Brown for four, St. Brown pitched it back to Jahmyr Gibbs, and Gibbs got nine more to the twelve, seven yards short. The Lions scored on their next drive, LaPorta from eight yards with three forty-two left, and got the ball back at their own thirteen with two oh six left, down six, no timeouts. The last snap was fourth and thirteen at the ten, Goff to Isaac TeSlaa for twelve, a yard short. Carolina won thirty-two to twenty-six, and Detroit is two and two.
