Watch: Lions kicker Jake Bates makes two 50-yard field goals in wild comeback win over Texans

The ball appeared to be sailing left of the post before slicing in to give the Lions a seventh consecutive win.

The former brick salesman also made a 58-yarder to tie the game at 23 with 5:01 remaining in the fourth that came inches from hitting the right upright.

Bates improved to 14-of-14 on field goal attempts this season, including 3-of-3 on tries from 50 yards or more.

The Lions did everything they could to lose to the Texans (6-4).

Detroit (8-1) trailed 23-7 at the half, and quarterback Jared Goff threw five interceptions while completing half of his attempts (15-of-30) after entering the game with an 82.8 percent completion percentage in his last six games.

Bates bailed out Detroit with his two unbelievable makes, turning what looked like a forgettable loss into a memorable win.
