Missed opportunity

Holding on Ricardo Silva
Not sure what officials saw there. Need a better look on the replay.
That penalty wiped out a 71-yard Stefan Logan kick return. Looked like maybe Silva got busted for a horse collar.
Very odd. Lots of boos, as you would expect.
Lions start series here late in the third quarter at their own

That Tulloch penalty
Stephen Tulloch got penalized with a personal foul because of his block on Christian Ponder during the interception return.
I'm guessing that official thought Tulloch's block was outside the rules because Ponder didn't appear to be blocking near the return.
Just a guess, though.

Ponder problems; Tulloch penalty
A Christian Ponder pass was intercepted by Eric Wright at the Lions 28. But Stephen Tulloch got flagged for a 15-yard personal foul penalty.
Not exactly sure what Tulloch did. Could you tell? Waiting for a replay.

Halftime breakdown as Lions lead 31-14
Impressive start for the Lions, especially Matthew Stafford.
He's the story of the first half, so is the defense.
Stafford is 9-of-14 for 131 yards and two touchdown passes. He's got 29 for the year.

Jason Hanson's 30-yard FG is...good
After a second timeout for the Lions, Jason Hanson's attempt is good, giving him 103 points for the season.
Hanson now has 10 seasons of at least 100 points or more for the blue and silver.
This is Hanson's first season of at least 100 points since the 2007 campaign. Before today's game, he
