Lions claim decisive victory over Arizona for first road win of the season

The Detroit Lions did what they needed to do on Sunday before heading into their Bye Week, pick up a much-needed win on the road.

For the first time this season, the Lions have won away from Ford Field as they were able to shake off a very slow start in the first quarter and notch a convincing 45-21 victory out west over the Arizona Cardinals to improve to 3-2 on the season.

With the loss, the Cardinals fell to 1-4.

Following the Bye Week, the Lions will return home for the next two contests as they get ready to take on back-to-back NFC North foes in the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings on October 25th at 4:25 pm and November 1st at 1 pm, respectively.
