Matt Prater made amends for his first missed field goal, knocking one home from 43 yards to give the Lions a 3-0 lead over Washington with 9:37 left in the second quarter.
Justin Forsett played a big role in the Lions’ drive as he’s starting to make more of an impact in his second game with the Lions. After picking up a modest four yards on his first carry, he followed that up with an 8-yard reception and consecutive runs of nine yards to pick up two straight first downs and push the ball to midfield.
An offensive holding on Anquan Boldin set up a first-and-20 and Andre Roberts dropped what would’ve been a first down.
