The Lions (5-1) defense help Tampa Bay, coming off a bye, to just two field goals and 2-for-12 on third downs. An deflected Baker Mayfield pass was intercepted by Will Harris in the first quarter, which resulted in Riley Patterson field goal.
The Lions did lose running back David Montgomery to a rib injury that came when he was tackled after a pass catch-and-run.
