Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew put an end to an eight-game scoring slump, which dated back to last season, during a 27-24 loss Week 7 vs. Cincinnati. Pettigrew managed just three catches for 7 yards Sunday.
Pettigrew hauled in a 3-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter after Matthew Stafford failed to connect with Calvin Johnson and Joseph Fauira on the previous two plays. Pettigrew, who has 15 carer touchdowns, has been held to less than 10 yards in three of seven games.
The Lions are back in action Week 8 vs. Dallas.
