The Detroit Lions avoided a meltdown on Sunday at Ford Field.
And Matt Pater might have shaken his kicking yips.
The Lions beat the Washington Football Team, 30-27, on Prater's 59-yard boot as time expired, keeping their slim playoff hopes alive after blowing a 21-point third-quarter lead.
The Lions led 24-3 with 7:58 remaining in the third quarter before Washington scored three consecutive touchdowns to tie it at 24-24 with 6:09 remaining in the fourth quarter.
