It hasn’t happened anywhere in the NFL for a decade, never for the Detroit Lions franchise, and according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, only five times in the entire history of the league.
However, the 2018 Detroit Lions are in a great position to have three separate players go over 1,000 yards receiving for the season. The Cardinals last did this, in 2008 (Larry Fitzgerald–Anquan Boldin–Steve Breaston, quarterbacked by Kurt Warner).
Why do I think they’re a strong bet to pull off this feat, and what other pieces would need to fall into place for it to happen?
