Jamal Agnew waits for another big break in Lions' return game

At times, it feels like the only positive thing about the Detroit Lions this season has been their special teams. Jack Fox has been the NFL's best punter, bolstered by the strong play of the coverage units, and Matt Prater continues to be one of the game's most-reliable kickers, despite a couple long-distance misses to start the year.

But things could be even better if only return man Jamal Agnew would get some opportunities.

An All-Pro as a rookie, and coming off a season where he had both a kickoff and punt return for a touchdown, opponents are largely avoiding giving Agnew the chance to do damage this year, particularly with punts.
