A quick TD puts the Saints way up on the scoreboard but not so
much in PossessionPoints. The Saints can't go to sleep the Lions
have had some big comebacks this season. |

Lions have a nice drive and finally get on the board. If they
can keep the Saints from scoring again this half it could be an
interesting second half. |
