As the Detroit Lions try to make a comeback against the Buffalo Bills to start off Week 2, quarterback Jared Goff connected with tight end Sam LaPorta for a one-yard touchdown to get it back to a 10-point game with a lot of time left in the fourth quarter.

Here is a look at the touchdown, courtesy of the Detroit Lions social media:

Amon-Ra St. Brown and LaPorta have been the leading receivers for Detroit in this game.  St. Brown has over 100 yards and a touchdown, while LaPorta has 52 yards and a touchdown on his seven targets.

The Lions' defense must stop the Bills' offense if Detroit has any chance of winning this game.  So far, that has not gone well for the Lions, since Buffalo has scored on all but one drive going into the fourth quarter. However, they forced the Bills to punt on their first drive in the fourth quarter, giving their offense the ball back with more than half the quarter left.
