The Lions certainly impressive early in this one, and seemed to handle gettign punched back really well. The Colts stormed back to tie this game midway through the fourth. But the Lions were resilient, getting a touchdown of their own, only to miss the extra point. Most teams would have quit when the Colts drove down to take a one point lead with under a minute to play, but Matthew Stafford gave Matt Prater a chance to redeem himself. Redeem himself he did as he drilled the field goal for a walk off road win, not an easy accomplishment. The defense could be the undoing of this team, but the offense sure looks good under Jim Bob Cooter.
