Detroit — J.D. McKissic took a toss from Matthew Stafford and ran to his right. And for a brief moment, it looked like so many other running plays the Lions have attempted lately. There were blockers in front of McKissic, but little chance he’d find his way past them.
Only this time that was part of the design.
“The defense is gonna bite hard on the toss, so I just had to sell it,” said McKissic, who did just that — selling another failure in the Lions’ run game — before stopping dead in his tracks, turning and firing a pass back to Stafford.
