Garcia led the much-improved offense, going 5-for-7 for 55 yards, including a 25-yard completion to Kellen Winslow Jr. on third and 13. The rookie tight end turned and leaped to make the tough catch before his head was driven into the turf.

One of the few bright spots for Detroit was running back Kevin Jones, who gained 29 yards on six carries.
