Early in the fourth quarter at New Orleans Sunday, rookie cornerback Jamal Agnew returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown, his second of the season. The return helped spur on a Lions comeback that just fell short.
Agnew joined Hall of Fame cornerback Jack Christiansen (four in 1951) as the only rookies in Lions history to return at least two punts for touchdowns. He returned one 88 yards for a touchdown Week 2 in New York.
Agnew’s return in New Orleans is the focus of this week’s Film Review.
Like any good punt return, the 10 teammates in front of Agnew had to do their jobs.
