Lions Triumph in 26-23 Comeback Over Texans

The Detroit Lions pulled off a dramatic 26-23 comeback win against the Houston Texans, overcoming a 16-point deficit and five interceptions from quarterback Jared Goff. Kicker Jake Bates was pivotal, making a 58-yard field goal to tie the game and a 52-yard field goal to win it as time expired, maintaining his perfect record this season. This victory marks the Lions' seventh consecutive win, improving their record to 8-1, their best start since 1954. Despite Goff's struggles, the Lions' defense played a crucial role in keeping the Texans scoreless in the second half. This game was notable as the Lions became the first team since 2012 to win a game despite throwing five interceptions. Bates, who previously played in the United Football League, has proven to be an invaluable asset with his clutch performances.
