Detroit Lions - Team Notes

On-field mics catch Taylor Decker after touchdown grab.
Thankfully, this awesome moment was caught on tape.
It?s been a bummer of a year for the Detroit Lions, but the team provided one of the most fun moments of the season on Sunday when they pulled off a trick play that resulted in left tackle Taylor Decker catching an 11-yard touchdown.

In the locker room afterwards, you could tell just how special of a moment it was for Decker, who regrettably threw the ball into the stands after a rush of adrenaline.

?I?ve been playing football since first grade, always been an o-lineman,? Decker said after the game. ?So for my first touchdown to come as a left tackle in the NFL is pretty damn cool.?

Thanks to the Detroit Lions audio and camera crew on gameday, we can also see what was going on with Decker immediately after his first career touchdown. That sequence is heavily featured on this week?s version of DetroitLions.com?s ?Sights and Sounds? weekly feature.

Best parts: LeGarrette Blount understanding why Decker is tired on a 11-yard catch, Eli Harold admitting he got worked on that play in practice, and Decker desperately asking for oxygen.

It?s definitely worth watching.
 
TE Levine Toilolo had himself a career day in Week 13. He earned a 91.2 overall grade (highest by TE) and 4 receptions on his 6 targets, all of which went for a first down
His 114.3 passer rating when targeted this season is 2nd-highest on the @Lions (Taylor Decker, 152.1).
PFF
 
Since 2015:
The #Lions defense has allowed the most 100+ passer rating games (33) in the #NFL

The 3rd most games (19) allowing more than 5.0+ yards per carry (Lions offense has 2nd fewest games averaging 5.0+ ypc)

How does the team still have the 18th best win% in that span?
