Lions' Matt Prater: Nails 50-yarder in divisional loss

Prater converted two of two field-goal attempts in the Lions' 17-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Analysis:

Prater could have had a much bigger day had the Lions' offense been able to move the ball effectively throughout the contest, including one particular opportunity that seemed like it would have set Prater up for an additional field-goal attempt until a Golden Tate miscue subsequently resulted in a Matthew Stafford interception. Overall, Prater's success appeared handcuffed to that of Stafford on Sunday, and the rocket-legged kicker may have a hard time tallying points of his own moving forward if his quarterback continues to struggle.
