Big performances: In limited work Saturday that consisted of just two series, TeSlaa made the most of it.
TeSlaa had a nice sliding catch on a third-down play early in the game and put the Lions on the board with a 33-yard touchdown that showed off his 4.4 speed getting a step on a defender down the right sideline.
TeSlaa has a big frame (6-4, 214), soft hands and good speed. He should be a contributor on offense and special teams in the regular season.
Linebacker Trevor Nowaske (nine tackles) and safety Loren Strickland (nine tackles and one tackle for loss) had really nice performances for Detroit’s defense.
Key stat: Detroit was out-gained on offense 399 yards to 186 and lost the time of possession battle 40:15 to 19:45.
Injury report: Linebacker Ezekiel Turner left the game in the third quarter with a right leg injury and did not return.
Up next: at Green Bay, Sun., Sept. 7, 4:25 p.m. (CBS)
