J.T. O'Sullivan went 15-of-26 for 175 yards for the Lions in that loss, throwing a touchdown pass to Sean McHugh. Jason Hanson provided Detroit's other points.
The Raiders lost their final preseason game 19-14 to the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field, as 3-point underdogs. The game's combined 33 points were UNDER the posted total of 37.5.
Johnnie Lee Higgins returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown, and James Adkisson caught a five-yard pass for the other Raiders score.
