Live blog: Kaaya finds Ford for a late TD

Brad Kaaya made the most of his opportunity to work out of the shotgun late in tonight's game, engineering a 8-play, 79-yard drive that was capped by a 13-yard touchdown throw to Dontez Ford.

The Lions let Kaaya sling the rock around a bit, and the rookie out of Miami went 7-for-8 for 79 yards. The touchdown pass was Kaaya's second of the season, as the first also went to Ford in the team's first preseason game in Indianapolis.

Lions rookie Green makes a big play

Tion Green took a screen pass from Brad Kaaya and turned it into an entertaining 74-yard touchdown to cut the Lions deficit to 27-10 with 7:41 remaining.
