Down 40-0, the Detroit Lions started to climb back. Okay, one step at a time on a staircase where they are not reaching the top on Saturday.
Jamal Agnew returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter as the Lions sliced the deficit to 33 points.

It was the first Detroit punt return for a TD since Agnew returned one in the same week last season.
Of course, it couldn’t go without a mistake as Detroit was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after the TD.
