DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/teams/page/DET) finally survived the fourth quarter.
Roy Williams had 10 receptions for 161 yards -- both career highs -- and scored a touchdown while Kevin Jones ran for a season-high 127 yards and a score to lead the Lions to a 20-17 win over the Buffalo Bills (http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/teams/page/BUF) on Sunday.
Instead of the usual late mistakes that have cost the Lions in four of five opening losses, Detroit made the clutch plays it needed on both sides of the ball, ending Rod Marinelli's long wait for his first win as a head coach.
