ARLINGTON, Texas -- Since the day Golden Tate signed on the dotted line in Detroit, there isn't a receiver in the NFL with more yards after the catch.
He wasted no time showing why Sunday in Dallas.
Tate got the Lions on the board in the first quarter by taking a short pass from Matthew Stafford, running away from one defender, then juking another and high stepping his way into the end zone for a 45-yard touchdown. That was the first time all season that somebody has scored a touchdown in the first quarter against this Cowboys defense, and it gave Detroit a 7-3 lead.
