DETROIT -- With the offense laboring through its usual struggles, Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter dipped into his bag of tricks. And what a trick it was.
Left tackle Taylor Decker leaked out to the left uncovered, and Matthew Stafford found the 311-pounder for a 11-yard touchdown pass. And just like that, the Lions pulled to within 16-13 of the NFL-leading Rams with 3:02 left in the third quarter.
Decker joins Scott Conover (1994) as the only offensive linemen to catch a touchdown pass in team history.
And just like that, we've got a ballgame.
