With a 16-13 scoreboard deficit and 23 seconds left on the game clock in the 4th quarter, Lions QB Matthew Stafford jogged onto the field with one thing in mind; “do my job.” Two plays and 12 seconds later, the Lions had reached field goal range for their kicker Matt Prater to attempt a 58-yard field goal. Not only did Prater convert on the FG attempt to send the game into overtime, he sent a power surge through the entire Lions community. One that may resonate for quite some time.
After WR Golden Tate acrobatically flipped into the end-zone to seal a Lions victory, I could only think of two resounding words; Harold Nash.
