Detroit Lions Make the Right Calls in Win over Oakland Raiders

For what seems like the first time this year, the Detroit Lions made the right decision more often than not in their 18-13 win over the Oakland Raiders.

Any other week, when given the choice between a run or a pass, the Lions opted to punt or simply handed the ball to the other team. They were allergic to making the correct call.

Remember that two-point conversion attempt when they gave the ball to Joique Bell out of a shotgun formation? If you don't, it's OK. The memory probably went up with the cloud of smoke that followed Matthew Stafford on his five-yard touchdown run.
