ALLEN PARK -- Golden Tate was on his morning drive to the Lions facility when he pulled up behind one of his fears: a little girl crying in the back seat of a wrecked car.

Tate just had a daughter born in January, and so he stopped his own car and did what fathers do: He pulled her into his arms and held her while she cried.

It was around 8:15 Tuesday morning, two days after Tate dazzled in a road game in Dallas. It was a practice off day for the Lions, but Tate was headed to the facility anyway.
