Lions' Jake Bates: Successful on lone FG try Week 17

Bates made his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Thursday's Christmas Day loss to Minnesota.

Minnesota's defense mostly stymied Detroit's offense, capping Bates' kicking opportunities. He did make a 48-yard field goal with under five minutes remaining in the game to end with a tolerable fantasy score. Bates is 23-for-29 on FG attempts and 53-for-55 on PATs on the season.
