Lions offense rolls to early lead vs. Jaguars: Live updates

1st quarter

3:05: After giving up nine yards on the first down, the Lions defense gets back-to-back stops from Kerby Joseph and Alex Anzalone to force a three-and-out. Lions 7, Jaguars 3

4:59: The Lions’ offense easily makes it look like an eight-play, 70-yard touchdown drive. Jared Goff went 4-for-5 with two completions for Amon-Ra St. Brown and David Montgomery had 21 hard-earned yards, including the touchdown. Lions 7, Jaguars 3

9:34: The Jaguars strike first as they make their way down the 29-yard field and then hit a 59-yard field goal to open the scoring. The Lions did not allow any play longer than six yards. Jaguars 3, Lions 0

Foreplay: Za’Darius Smith is in the building, and if there was any doubt about his role with this team going forward, he showed up in a Rasheed Wallace Pistons jersey. The Lions hope he is the missing piece to a championship team like Wallace once was.

Al-Quadin Muhammad is inactive today in a reshuffled Lions defensive line rotation.

For the Jaguars, leader Tank Bigsby will be inactive on Tuesday due to an ankle injury. Expect a bigger workload for Travis Etienne.

After surviving a wild Sunday night game in Houston, the Detroit Lions are back home looking to extend their longest single-season winning streak in decades.

The Lions will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Ford Field, looking for their eighth straight victory. The team’s current seven-game winning streak is already the franchise’s longest single-season win streak since 1934.

Standing in the way is a 2-8 Jacksonville team that is without starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence and will instead turn to Mac Jones under center.

For the Lions, Za’Darius Smith is expected to make his team debut after being acquired at the trade deadline to bolster the team’s pass rush.
