Half-Time Report: Detroit Lions lead by three

The Detroit Lions lead at the break by three points in their clash with the Washington Redskins in the NFL.

The Redskins had a good start to the game when DeAngleo Hall picked off Lions quarterback Matt Stafford after beating Calvin Johnson to the ball and ran it in for a 17-yard touchdown.

However, Detroit responded and Stafford moved the ball downfield, finding Bell on a big gain on third down before entering the 20-yard line of the Redskins. He handed to bell, who beat several tackles before powering over the line to tie the scores.

The Lions were beginning to roll on offense and Stafford started to take apart the Redskins defense. He drove his side downfield into the 20 before finding tight end Joseph Fauria in the endzone for his second touchdown of the season to give his side the lead.

Washington replied immediately as Robert Griffin III engineered a scoring drive, which culminated in second-year man Alfred Morris running the ball into the endzone from 30 yards out down the right-hand sideline.

Just before the break, there was time for Stafford to move his team into field goal range, and David Akers made no mistake in restoring his side's lead.
