GLENDALE, Ariz. — Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater is not one to turn down field goal attempts, but even the veteran kicker said Matt Patricia's decision to pass on a 58-yard try early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals was the right thing to do.
"We won so it was the right call, for sure," Prater said. "I love to kick the long ones, but the way the game was going, our defense was playing well and Jack (Fox) pinned them down I think at the 2, so I think it was definitely the right call.
