Jeff Garcia certainly didn't
have any trouble throwing the
ball against the Lions,
completing 18 straight passes at
one point. But Tampa Bay's
quarterback couldn't hold on to
the ball in key situations
against his former team and
Detroit took advantage in a
23-16 win.
The Lions converted two
Garcia fumbles into touchdowns,
including a 32-yard run by
rookie wide receiver Calvin
Johnson to seal the win for
Detroit (4-2), which pulled
within a game of idle Green Bay
in the NFC North.
Garcia, who didn't have a
turnover in his first five games
for the Bucs (4-3), botched a
handoff in Detroit territory in
the first quarter, and
mishandled a snap on a
first-and-goal when the Bucs
were a yard away from pulling
within two points early in the
fourth
