Lions succumb to Houston Oilers in 113-79 landslide

Lions were unable to rise to the occasion, falling short of projections, as Houston Oilers rolled to a 113-79 victory. Houston Oilers pulled out to a 9-point lead on Thursday behind CeeDee Lamb (8 points) and Cameron Jordan (0.5) and never looked back. C.J. Mosley (13 Tackles) and T.J. Hockenson (4 Rec, 49 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Lions in defeat. Houston Oilers (9-4) will look to build on their success against 49ers, while Lions (5-8) take on Vikings in an effort to right the ship.
