Lions defeated the Thunderbirds, 31-10. R.Hood led the way with 2 touchdown passes, and the Lions made that efficiency count. M.Corbin was at the center of it, turning his 2 touchdown catches into the kind of finishing work that put the game firmly in Detroit’s hands. Hood added 172 passing yards, while Corbin paired his scoring night with 91 receiving yards to give the offense its sharpest edge. The Thunderbirds had their moments through the air, with R.Anthony throwing 1 touchdown pass and finishing with 191 passing yards in a losing effort. J.Waddle provided a steady target, contributing 69 receiving yards as Thunderbirds tried to answer. Even so, their production never matched the Lions’ ability to turn key connections into points.
