The Detroit Lions shot themselves in the foot time and time again in Week 14, but they outlasted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-21 to keep themselves in the playoff picture in the NFC.

Even though there were a total of eight turnovers in this game, it was a big day for both offenses. Both teams reached the 400-yard plateau in a game that had a little bit of everything, including an offensive lineman scoring a touchdown.

Leonard Webster scored his first-career touchdown on a tackle-eligible play to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay's furious rally came up short, though, when Matt Prater drilled the game-winning field goal.

Matthew Stafford's numbers aren't going to scream that he had one of his best games of the season. That said, for a man who was questionable all week with a hand injury went 36-for-44 passing and picked up his offense on a day that the running game amassed just 53 yards on 18 carries.

Theo Riddick scored a pair of touchdowns for the Lions to beat his Projected Fantasy Points total while both Eric Ebron and Golden Tate crushed their PFP totals, too.
