Detroit Lions: Zach Zenner boosts offense to victory

With a seven-point lead and roughly eight minutes remaining in the game, the Detroit Lions turned to running back Zach Zenner. He responded by gaining every yard on the ground during a 42-yard touchdown drive that chewed up four minutes of clock. The 1-yard touchdown run was the dagger for victory in the desert against the Arizona Cardinals.

The drive was impressive for Zenner, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at his stats for the entire game. He gained only 12 yards outside of his touchdown drive and totaled 54 yards on 12 carries.
