Ravens 7-6 at Lions 7-6
Let’s start, 4 minutes in and the Lions’ Reggie Bush runs around the outside to the left and takes it 15+ yards for a TD!! Lions up 7-0! 9-7 Ravens now and Lions QB Matthew Stafford is picked off by DeAngelo Tyson. The Ravens got a field goal off of that drive to make it 12-7! 15-10 Ravens now but Stafford finds Joseph Fauria who makes a crazy catch for a TD, the Lions miss the 2-point conversion so it’s 16-15 Lions! About 45 seconds left and the Raven’s Justin Tucker drains a 61 yard FIELD GOAL! But Matthew Stafford has one last chance, and HE FINDS MATT ELAM! The problem is Elam is on the Ravens. Ravens win 18-16!
