ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Members of the Detroit Lions didn't just go their separate ways after Day 3 of training camp, they banded together to support a fellow teammate.
The squad held a local watch party on Friday night to witness Melissa Gonzalez -- the wife of quarterback David Blough -- qualify for the Olympic semifinal round of the 400-meter hurdles in Tokyo. She ran a 55.32, which set a Colombian national record.
It was an early birthday present to Blough, who turned 26 on Saturday.
"You don't always get these type of experiences, but to me that embodies enjoying the ride because that was pretty cool," Lions coach Dan Campbell opened Saturday's press conference.
