The Lions went 3-0 in November, and kicker Matt Prater was a big part of the reason why.
After going 8-for-8 on field goals while the Lions won their three games, Prater has been named NFC special teams player of the month.
It was a month that saw Prater nail a 58-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter to force overtime in Minnesota, nail a 43-yard field goal with 26 seconds left in a win over the Jaguars, and nail two field goals late in the fourth quarter of a win on Thanksgiving.
Over the course of the month, the Lions took over first place in the NFC North. Now they’ll hope Prater kicks a few more game-winners in December.
