PHILADELPHIA - Last week, Jamal Agnew lost his job as the team's kick and punt returners in the middle of the game after gaffes throughout the first two weeks of the season. All week long, Lions coach Matt Patricia expressed confidence in Agnew and that it was a one-game change for the former All-Pro.
Agnew showed in one return Sunday afternoon that the confidence the Lions had in him was correctly placed. Agnew took the ball at the Philadelphia goal-line during the first quarter Sunday and took off on the left side. He got a block from one of his upbacks - believed to be Ty Johnson - and he was off.
