Lions' Matt Prater: Three field goals in season opener

Prater made three of four field goals and both of his PATs during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago.

Prater was one of three kickers league-wide to log at least four field-goal attempts in Week 1, but he missed a 55-yard try wide right. While he won't always get this many opportunities on a weekly basis, the veteran can be counted on for at least a couple per game while quarterback Matthew Stafford is healthy. In eight games with a healthy Stafford in 2019, Prater attempted 2.4 field goals per game, compared to 1.6 FGA per contest in the other eight games without Stafford.
