Lions' kicker Prater fights off nerves on 'lollipop' TD pass

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Matt Prater was nervous, more nervous then he gets before attempting game-winning field goals.

"Anything you’re not used to doing, you’re going to be a little bit more uncomfortable just cause it’s not your normal routine," he said.

But Prater pulled off the perfect fake field goal Sunday, throwing an 8-yard touchdown pass to Levine Toilolo to help spark the Lions to a season-ending 31-0 win over the Green Bay Packers.

"One of those plays the team I was with previously, we ran my first year in the league in 2004 against the Rams," Lions coach Matt Patricia said.
