Maybe it was jet-lag. Maybe the braised duck ossobuco at Maze was slightly undercooked during at dinner Saturday night. Maybe the guys had a pint too many at The Green Man Hotel & Pub. Whatever the reason, the Detroit Lions in London got off to a sluggish start Sunday, trailing Atlanta 21-0 at halftime. However, Jim Caldwell’s men roared back in the second half, finally getting the ball back deep in their own territory with less than two minutes remaining and needing a field goal to avoid a loss. Placekicking has been a thorn in Detroit’s side all season and the offense needed to cover lots of ground in a short time. Matthew Stafford delivered three big plays and the Lions got a much-needed 22-21 win at Wembley Stadium.
