Much to the surprise of whoever made the 0-11 simulation on ESPN, the Detroit Lions were able to earn a tie in Week 1, playing the Arizona Cardinals to a draw, 27-27.
Part of the reason why Detroit was able to leave State Farm Stadium with a victory was because of a lethal offensive attack. Veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford was able to surpass 300 yards while throwing for three touchdowns in the contest.
131 of those yards and one those touchdowns went to rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson, who became the X-Factor of the Lions offense on Sunday.
