Taylor Decker has been reunited with the ball he scored his first ever touchdown with, and the Detroit Lions left tackle has Twitter and an understanding fan to thank.

Decker said Friday that he connected with the Lions fan who ended up with his touchdown ball not long after he chucked it into the stands in the third quarter of a Dec. 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
