Detroit — This hasn't been the season DJ Chark envisioned when he signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Detroit Lions as a free agent this offseason. Still, he spent the week leading into a matchup against his former team talking more about what he could prove the final six games as opposed to dwelling on the opportunities lost to a midseason ankle injury.
Whether it was that positive thinking, nearing full strength, or some combination of the two, Chark put forth his best effort since joining the Lions, catching five passes for 98 yards in the victory over Jacksonville.
