Lions tight ends only caught four passes between them Sunday, but they sure made an impact despite the defeat.
Brandon Pettigrew snagged three for 32 yards, but one was an 18-yard scoring reception in the third quarter that gave his team a short-lived lead. Joseph Fauria managed just one catch, but it was a 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter that also put the Lions ahead.
They hope their efforts will result in a victory Thursday against Green Bay.
