Detroit, MI

STAR OF THE GAME Matthew Stafford throws for 282 yards on 22 of 35 passing and runs for the go-ahead TD to lead Detroit (3-7) to a win over Oakland (4-6), which drops its third straight game. Stafford scores the Lions' first rushing TD since Week 3 on a 5-yard run as Detroit erases a 13-9 deficit with 11:08 remaining. He finishes with 31 rushing yards on six carries, including a season-best 18-yard run.

KEY STATS The Lions have 109 rushing yards on 31 carries. Detroit enters the game ranked last in the NFL in rushing at 66.9 yards per game.

After throwing for 13 TD passes the previous three games, Oakland's Derek Carr has no scoring passes on 13 of 25 passing for 169 yards. A Carr interception on Oakland's TD drive early in the third quarter is negated by a Detroit penalty.

The Raiders' Latavius Murray has a season-low 28 rushing yards on 13 carries. Oakland finishes with 50 rushing yards on 21 carries. The Lions enter the game ranked 28th against the rush, allowing 124.1 yards per game.

The Raiders' Amari Cooper has one catch for 4 yards, season lows in both categories. Cooper enters the game leading NFL rookies with 50 catches and 732 receiving yards. He also drops two passes against Detroit, giving him 10 this season.

Matt Prater kicks 29, 41 and 51-yard field goals as the Lions build a 9-0 lead in the first half. The Raiders' Sebastian Janikowski kicks 48 and 56-yard field goals in the third quarter to help Oakland rally for a 13-9 advantage.

Oakland has season lows in total yards (214), rushing yards (50), passing yards (164) and first downs (13). The Raiders also are a woeful 4 of 17 on third-down tries.

The Lions score their final two points on a safety midway through the final period when Oakland's Donald Penn is called for holding against Detroit's Ezekiel Ansah in the end zone.

THEY SAID IT “He was able to make some things happen with his feet."

Lions QB Matthew Stafford

“It's a great feeling for the offensive line when everyone, including the Raiders, knew we were going to run and we were still able to do it.“
