Entering Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, the Detroit Lions needed a placekicker to fill in for Austin Seibert.
After Sunday's game, they'll probably still need a kicker.
The Lions trailed at halftime, 24-15, in part because of two important special teams plays. But the deficit was nine in part because of kicking woes.
The Lions signed Dominik Eberle off the practice squad after Austin Seibert was sidelined with a right groin injury. Eberle missed both of his extra-point attempts after Lions touchdowns in the first half.
Eberle was a perfect 127 of 127 on extra points at Utah State — those are 20-yard attempts as opposed to the NFL distance of 35 yards.
