Live updates: Winning streak! Lions beat Giants 31-18 for third straight win

The Lions have now done the unthinkable—they've won their third straight game as they beat the Giants 31-18.

The defense forced three Giants' turnovers. Daniel Jones threw two interceptions—one to Aidan Hutchinson, who also had a fumble recovery, and one to Kerby Joseph.

The biggest factor, however, was shutting down Saquon Barkley. He had just 15 carries for 22 yards. They forced Daniel Jones to beat them with his arm—and he couldn't do it.

The Lions move to 4-6 and will now put their winning streak on the line on Thanksgiving against the Buffalo Bills.

FINAL: Lions 31, Giants 18

Two-minute warning

-Q4 4:20: Lions recover the onside kick.

Giants aren't going away

-Q4 4:20: Daniel Jones finds *checks notes* Richie James for the TD. 2 pt. conv. no good. 31-18. Have to imagine an onside kick is coming.

Swift puts this game on ice

-Q4 6:10: D'Andre Swift gets into the end zone. That might be do it, thought you never know with this team. It's 31-12.

Lions recover a fumble

-Q4 7:53: Lions get a massive turnover. Fumble forced by Will Harris, recovered by Aidan Hutchinson.

-Q4 8:45: Lions drive stalls at the Giants' 35. They take the delay of game and punt.

Giants cut into lead

-Q4 13:21: Touchdown Giants. It was only a matter of time before the defense broke. Offense needs to respond. Lions lead down to 24-12 after another missed XP.

End of third quarter: Lions lead 24-6

-Q3 1:30: Lions go three-and-out after a questionable play call on third and 3. Not ideal.

-Q3 3:00: Lions' defense gets off the field again. Nice job of holding the line.

-Q3 6:20: Lions can't take advantage of the turnover as they go three-and-out.

Kerby nibbles up another pick

-Q3 7:22 Kerby Joseph picks off Daniel Jones, Jones' second pick of the day. Big return too. Joseph's third pick of the year. Lions have great field position.

Williams scores his third TD

-Q3 10:10: Jamaal Williams scores TD No. 3 on the day. That's a huge opening half drive for the Lions. They now lead 24-6.

Second half underway

Halftime: Lions lead Giants 17-6

Lions will get the ball to start the second half.

Lions increase their lead

-Q2 0:54: Jamaal Williams again. Touchdown. His second of the day. Great drive by the Lions' offense. 17-6.

Two-minute warning

-Q2 2:19: Lions defense gets off the field. Big opportunity for the Lions to add to their lead before the half.

Lions capitalize on turnover

-Q2 4:38: Jamaal Williams scores his 10th rushing TD of the season. Lions retake the lead, 10-6

Hutchinson interception

-Q2 6:09: Aidan Hutchinson picks off Daniel Jones. His second INT in three weeks. Huge play for the Lions.

-Q2 6:51: And the Lions go three-and-out. Not a good drive for D'Andre Swift. He fumbled, then opted to not go upfield on third down.

-Q2 9:00: Lions defense gets off the field on 3rd and 8 after a penalty wiped away a first down for the Giants.

-Q2 14:13: Lions punt after a holding call on Sewell wipes away a first down.

End of first quarter: Giants lead Lions 6-3

Giants take the lead

-Q1 2:41: Dan Campbell opted to decline a holding penalty that would have made it 2nd and 19. Instead, New York converted a 3rd and 8 and that set the tone for the rest of the drive. Touchdown Giants. They now lead 6-3 after a missed extra point.

Lions take early lead

-Q1 7:52: Jason Cabinda had a walk-in touchdown on a screen, but he dropped it in second down. Lions settle for 24-yarder from Michael Badgely, who knocks it through. 3-0 Lions.

-Q1 12:58: Alim McNeill picks up his first sack of the year of third down as the Lions force a three-and-out. Nice start.

Kickoff

Lions win the toss and defer. They are up first on defense.

Injury designations

ACTIVE: C Frank Ragnow (foot), LB Malcom Rodriguez (elbow), S DeShon Elliot (concussion), DB Ifeatu Melifonwu

INACTIVE: WR Josh Reynolds, OT Matt Nelson, DLs Charles Harris (groin) and Josh Paschal, DB Chase Lucas

Pregame

The Detroit Lions will took to win their third consecutive game on Sunday against the Giants at the Meadowlands.

The offense will get a boost in the form of WR DJ Chark, who's returning from an ankle injury. Jared Goff needs all the weapons he can get, so hopefully they can get him involved early and often.

The key for the Lions' defense will be containing Giants running back Saquon Barkely. If it can, the Lions could be well on their way to that third straight win. If not, it could be a long afternoon.
