Live Lions blog: Prater makes 53-yard FG, Lions up 13-9

Matt Prater has a leg.

His season-long 53-yard field goal made it 13-9 early in the fourth quarter.

Two plays earlier, before the Vikings were flagged for jumping offsides, it appeared that Minnesota defensive back Tre Waynes made contact with Lions receiver Golden Tate -- holding at the least, but arguably pass interference. No flag was thrown on Waynes, though the Lions picked up five yards on the offsides flag.

Lawson blocks FG try

The Lions defense helped the Vikings into Detroit territory, and put Minnesota in a position to score.

However, Nevin Lawson's block of a 46-yard field goal attempt by Blair Walsh kept the Lions ahead, 10-9, early in the fourth quarter.
