DETROIT 26, NEW ENGLAND 10
Patriots - Jonathan Jones (CB) made four tackles in the loss.
Lions - Kerryon Johnson (RB) had the biggest night for a Detroit running back SINCE BEFORE THE KICK SIX. He was the first back to hit the 100-yard mark in nearly five years for the Lions, and he did it relatively easily against the Patriots’ defense.
Hey @Lions fans, send your congrats to @AyeyoKEJO - 100 yards rushing for the 1st time in a while.
