Kenny Golladay has made a mark with big plays in his rookie season with the Detroit Lions. More accurately, they are long plays – long receptions.
He made another big play in Sunday’s 24-21 road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On the stat sheet, it was recorded as a simple six-yard catch on third and two for a first down.
What we learned on that play – and many others like it in a season – is that big plays aren’t always measured in yards. Importance, the time in the game and what the plays lead to also determine what big plays are.
