OAKLAND-After a lackluster showing in the preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings, the Oakland Raiders looked a lot better in their second preseason game.

Matt McGloin found Brice Butler wide open in the end zone with just six seconds remaining in the game, as the Raiders came back from two different 13-point deficits to defeat the Detroit Lions 27-26 at the Coliseum.

McGloin was forced into the game on the Raiders final drive of the game after Carr was hit, and suffered a concussion.

Matt Schaub went eight-for-13 for 87 yards and an interception before giving way to rookie Derek Carr.

On the other side of things, Matthew Stafford was fantastic, as he went nine-for-10 for 88 yards passing and a touchdown.

James Ihedigbo intercepted the Schaub pass at the Lions 26-yard line and returned it to the Raiders 36-yard line, for a 38-yard return.

After an eight-yard gain by Reggie Bush, Stafford found Golden Tate for a 28-yard touchdown pass to give the Lions the lead just 45 seconds after the interception.

Since the new rule that the point after touchdown was moved back to the 15-yard line, which is essentially a 33-yard field goal, Nate Freese missed the extra point.

The Raiders then went three-and-out on their next drive, and then Stafford threw his second touchdown pass of the evening, when he found Kris Durham for a four-yard touchdown pass to give the Lions a 13-0 lead.

King then punted again for the second time in the quarter; however the Lions were not able to cash in on the latest punt, as Sam Martin was forced to punt for the visitors from the MotorCity.

Schaub and former DeLaSalle star Maurice Jones-Drew came up with the big play on the Raiders ensuing drive, as Schaub found Jones-Drew for a 21-yard pass and just three plays later, Darren McFadden got the Raiders on the board, as he scored over right guard from one-yard out to narrow the Lions lead down to six.

After another three-and-out forced by the Raiders defense, Sebastian Jankowski kicked a 28-yard field to cut the lead down to just three.

On his second drive of the game, Dan Orlovsky drove the Lions down the field, and Freese kicked a 55-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining in the first half.

George Winn gave the Lions a 13-point lead on their first possession of the third quarter, as he took the ball across the goal line from one yard after the Lions went 83 yards in 17 plays.

After the Raiders and the Lions were unable to get any points on the board, and punting the ball away, the Raiders were able to get the lead down to six points.

Derek Carr found tight end Jake Murphy for a three-yard touchdown pass for his first touchdown of the preseason.

Janikowski then got the Raiders within three, as he kicked a 36-yard field goal just under a minute into the fourth quarter.

McGloin found Scott Simonson over the middle; however Simonson was hit by DeJon Gomes and Simonson fumbled the ball and Brandon Hepburn recovered the ball in the end zone. Gomes suffered a neck injury on the Simonson hit and fumble.

After the Lions were unable to closeout the game, the Raiders got the ball back with 2:32 remaining in the game and the combination of Carr, who left with that concussion and McGloin led the Raiders to victory.
