Lions upend Giants with late field goal Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Jon Kitna threw for 106 yards on 6-of-7 passing
with a 20-yard touchdown strike to Roy Williams on Detroit's first series, as
the Lions used a late 41-yard Eddie Johnson field goal to down the defending
Super Bowl-champion New York Giants, 13-10, at Ford Field.
Kitna's counterpart Eli Manning was only 2-of-6 passing, while former Panthers
signal-caller David Carr made the most of his opportunity for the Giants (0-1)
with 104 yards through the air on 10-of-13 attempts with a 13-yard touchdown
toss to Craphonso Thorpe in the fourth quarter.
It is not guaranteed that running back Tatum Bell will have a spot on Detroit's final roster, according to MLive.com. Bell has just 12 rushes for 17 yards on the preseason. The team could be looking to keep Artose Pinner, who has rushed 18 times for 64 yards thus far.
After struggling mightily in camp, quarterback Drew Stanton has turned the corner and is quickly gaining on Dan Orlovsky in the battle to be the team's No. 2 quarterback, according to MLive.com.
